...they're about the erotics of abstinence. Their tension comes from prolonged, superhuman acts of self-restraint. There's a scene midway through Twilight in which, for the first time, Edward leans in close and sniffs the aroma of Bella's exposed neck. "Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet," he says. "You have a very floral smell, like lavender ... or freesia." He barely touches her, but there's more sex in that one paragraph than in all the snogging in Harry Potter...
...year.Craving a biological rather than chemical approach to beer, Eisele was directed to Lecturer on Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Andrew Berry to develop a reading list on food and taste pairings.

Tropical fruit spreads, bowls of berries, cauldrons of rich, hot, nut-filled cereal, plates of smoked King Salmon, pear butter, and baskets of Blueberry Peanut muffins covered three ping-pong-sized tables. And that was just breakfast...
...days after Barack Obama's remarks about the bitter religion clingers of Middle America were made known, a near mob of conservative intellectuals sought to place his "élitism" in proper historical context. George Will located Obama securely in Adlai Stevenson's wine cellar, representing the effete strand of liberalism that corrupted F.D.R.'s party of the working people. William Kristol went straight for the main chance, positing Obama as a direct descendant of - yes - Karl Marx, who famously proclaimed religion to be the "opiate" of the masses. As the Marx meme fluttered across Fox News, you could almost hear...
