...Bush's chosen theme, Michael Coffey, the executive managing editor of Publishers Weekly, says it reminds him of a book penned by another President who was trying to salvage his reputation: Richard Nixon's 1962 bestseller, Six Crises, in which he tried to set the record straight about such uncomfortable topics as the Checkers speech and his role in the Alger Hiss case. "The fact that Bush is apparently structuring his memoir around a number of key decisions that he made, to me strikes a similar chord with Nixon's approach," Coffey says.

...Beatles’ “Isn’t it good / Norwegian Wood” in Bishop Allen’s “I’ll come back to you / South China Moon.” Its use, however, is representative of a larger theme of this new album.

The themes may range from the sophisticated (specific wine and cheese pairings) to the bizarrely delightful ("1-2-3-sake bomb!!"), but one theme has been consistent this year: eventual devolution into sloppy dancing. As for non-alcohol-based modes of community-building, Dunster ensures those warm, fuzzy feelings during the seasons, particularly around Christmas time when a giant evergreen graces a corner of the dining hall and residents write thank you cards to each other and hugs abound. Someone grab me some Kleenex...
