...quitting tomorrow. I swear...
...prove herself. When integrating previously all-male professional meetings, where old-fashioned etiquette was a stumbling block, she would always arrive early and be seated so men would not have to rise at her arrival.

Some users swear by the tapes. Melissa Farrell of Lake Wallenpaupack, Pa., had always thought that reading aloud would affect the unborn.

But I could swear I've heard the first four notes of the riff in Falco's "Der Kommisar" and Paula Abdul's "Cold-Hearted Snake," too. Who's plagiarizing whom? How many possible notes and rhythms are there? Isn't copycatting inevitable...
