...yourself still feel sweaty, even as you watch someone afterwards slipping into her leather culottes. And you still feel tired out even passing a little group of dancers sipping a vegetarian brew in the gym office. And you still even feel pleased, but you really wonder if it will last, when, for sure, you'll fall on your ass on the ice, running home...
...hostile dinner with Catherine and Anna sets loose a welter of tensions and animosities. Anna, you see, has "flipped," committed a sexual act, undefined but traumatic, with an adolescent hoodlum at her school.

He used the Hindu vedas to teach about Christ and won converts among the Brahmans themselves...
...spiritualist. Unlike most fencers, Keller does not prepare for a match by using calisthenics; he does Hatha yoga postures. "They loosen me up, and calm me down. I want to eliminate all distractions before I walk out on the strip. I also float and dance because I'm a vegetarian, and I don't feel as sluggish," Keller said...
