...beauty press -- including editors from Vogue, Lear's and Mirabella -- have gathered at a swank Manhattan eatery to get a close look at the founder of the Body Shop, Roddick's fast- growing chain of cosmetics stores. She is telling them how she learned to make oud, the molasses-thick perfume worn by Bedouin women for its aphrodisiac properties. "We'll show you how to make it," a group of women in Oman finally agreed after a week of cajoling, "but first you have to show us your pubic hair." And that's how Roddick ended up with her pants...
...Quakers, off to their best start since 1978-79 (the season they went to the Final Four), have also beaten Holy Cross (78-76) and Northwestern (64-61).

("American Bar") Ashbery's comparatively wide appeal (given the surface "difficulty" of his style) suggests that we do, in fact, feel isolated and overwhelmed; his lyric...

No, we can't find out the budget figures for the Government Department, but Gov professors and students aren't complaining about discrepancies in treatment by department officials. With coaches and athletes, however, complaints run thick and angry...
