...gentleman's club, but by 1717 had evolved into an engine of the European Enlightenment. Its members were committed to egalitarianism, civic participation and other ideals expressed through tropes of the stoneworkers trade: the square for straightforward virtue; the compass to circumscribe one's passions; the plumb line to stay upright. There was little religion but much ritual, which enraged churchmen and engaged conspiracy theorists, who still flood the Web with Masonic villainies, but it posed no problem for the Deists, who frequented the Continental Congress. Benjamin Franklin joined in Philadelphia and later guided Voltaire through the order's mysteries...
...Kennedy eventually betrayed Sinatra by choosing to stay with the more wholesome Bing Crosby during a visit to California. It was a humiliation that sent Sinatra rightward, into the arms of Nixon, then Reagan, which is where a lot of his audience was going in any case.

Many hotels are spicing up the discount deal with a slew of extras, from free clothes pressing to complimentary limousine transport and free breakfast. Hong Kong's Conrad Hotel, for instance, is offering a standard room, with all those freebies and more, starting at about $315 a night...
...American history and literature concentrator and women's studies concentrator. In order to graduate with the rest of my class in June of 2000, I will have to stay here for the full four years. Although my adviser claims that history and literature has just 16 concentration requirements, I recently counted 17 plus eight Core requirements. My secondary concentration adds an additional four tutorials and three women's studies half-courses. Hmmm.... is that 32 required courses or did I miscount while filling out my plan of study last night...
