Library officials still say that protection of the works--not the minds of the reader--underlies the secluded stacks. They point out that other "X" classifications include miniatures, unbound books and works in bad condition or with missing parts...

...almost to spring out of his chair, unsettling his audience with high-voltage intensity. It was video High Noon: Bush had shot down the legendary media gunslinger from Black Rock.

Gardner deftly embodies a ridiculous paragon of self-confidence and self-righteousness. He has a handsome easy manner and he uses his mobile (and bushy) eyebrows to great comic effect.
