Sometimes, of course, the heap plays sour, but more often the music is really served-served like a cloud, in fact. And if the sinatra is a keg, every number is liable to get real oblique...
Radcliffe does not wash her face when she sips coffee at the Bick, and whether she wears gym suits or tweed suits to examinations is beside the point. Fair or foul, Harvard undergraduates join to welcome the Annex to their examination rooms. Sour grapes only make bitter wine...
