...Critique or No Next Year: Brooklyn and the Dodgers It Can't Forget, it is refreshing to know that there are exceptions to convoluted representations of fractals and statistical number-crunching so often found in senior theses. Even if not a single academic curiosity is piqued by Don't Spit in the Soup We All Have to Eat: a History of the Dudley Cooperative House, at least the dust mites will become storehouses of esoteric facts and sexual innuendo...

When the Judiciary Committee meets this week to launch the third inquiry into the impeachment of a President in the nation's history, partisan members will bicker and spit--but Hyde's performance will go a long way toward either reassuring people that the process is orderly and rational or convincing them that it is a witch hunt.

...sense of rumored wonders: women, the Western world, adulthood. Their unlikely guide is the ultra-cool French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, one of whose films is playing in a town 20 miles away on a river called Amur (Russian for Cupid). Though the boys live in a backwater where spit freezes before it hits the ground, and an escaped prisoner is found sitting frozen in a tree, their real world is Belmondo's fantasy Paris, and their real loves are the miniskirted nymphets...
