Breathless though the prose is, it conveys much that is of use including, for instance, a thorough discussion of just what the job of pope entails (settling squabbles and travelling a lot) and how popes...
This plan was extremely unlikely to succeed, but otherwise perfect. It was a brilliant way to secure fame, fortune and early retirement. “Survivor” has a predilection towards the Harvard-affiliated (note HLS student Nick Brown from season two and OCS counselor/cow’s blood aficionado Linda Spencer from season three). The stereotypical Ivy League type is a staple of any good reality show. If I could fake a little extra intellect and arrogance I was in like Flynn...
