...veteran actor, explaining how he poses for photographs. "I don't do 'nice.'" No matter that Heston is, in fact, in pain, only days away from a hip-replacement operation, and has been limping around his Beverly Hills home in stretch Speedo slippers. No matter that a toupee, capped teeth and a partly unbuttoned shirt reveal a touch of vanity. At 73, the man best known for playing prophets and warriors is embracing a new role with gusto: president of the 127-year-old National Rifle Association. As poster pinup for America's muscular gun lobby, he isn't expected...

Newt Gingrich, who had earlier called for the trip's postponement, admitted Clinton's triumph and approved of a closer U.S.-China relationship through gritted teeth.

Gnashing his teeth over Kenneth Starr's skeptical view of Monica's proffer, Ginsburg begins devouring a series of power meals that will keep him noshing from the Cosmos Club and Morton's in Washington to the Four Seasons in New York City...
...Doin' It for Themselves (1985) was a duet, notably, with a white singer, Annie Lennox. Franklin sings not just about the female condition but about the human one. I Say a Little Prayer (1968) and Love Pang (1998) are existential soul, capturing heartache juxtaposed with workaday life--brushing your teeth, drinking morning coffee. By singing of such things, she exalted the mundane, giving a voice, a powerful one, to everyday folks and events...
