...have a memory of my mother in the kitchen scrubbing the floor. She did all the housecleaning, and she was always picking up after us. We were really messy, awful kids. I remember having these mixed feelings. I have a lot of feelings of love and warmth for her but sometimes I think I tortured her. I think little kids do that to people who are really good to them. They can't believe they're not getting yelled at or something so they taunt you. I really taunted my mother. I remember also I knew she was sick...
...last week's outpouring of public warmth and support for the veterans was massive and genuine beyond dispute: a gesture of splendid grandeur. As sheer spectacle, the tribute was a rousing success. It was vintage Big Apple, a ticker-tape parade through the canyons of lower Manhattan. Blizzards of litter (duly calculated to be 468 tons). Bands blaring (God Bless America and The + Caisson Song). Onlookers shouting down from skyscraping heights. Placards and posters flashing and bobbing (YOU'RE OUR HEROES and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES).

Afterward he dipped into the vocabulary of psychospiritualism to offer his appraisal: "It was more like an exorcism." Still, no matter how dark or ambiguous their emotions, few seemed to disagree with...
...couldn't hate anybody" without seeming a tool Nelson plays Doc flawlessly: that is, flaw fully: wrinkles, thick headedness, and all. Lined by years of tequila nights and bloody mornings. Nelson's face is perfect for his role. In Songwriter, his fifth movie. Nelson exhibits such case and warmth that the special chemistry he strikes with Kristofferson redeems the more mediocre soundtrack...
...evening around the Leuschner Observatory in Lafayette, Calif., a few enterprising rattlesnakes slither out to toast themselves on the asphalt parking lot, which retains the warmth of the sun long after the air has cooled. Inside, a 30-in. telescope begins a laborious computer-controlled search of the heavens, covering only a tiny patch of sky during the next six hours of darkness. And the following day, at the nearby University of California campus in Berkeley, Physicist Richard Muller, like a seer divining entrails, scrutinizes the new batch of video recordings from Lafayette. He seeks a sign...
