...Clintons aren't like you and me. Their summers aren't like ours either. While most of us go on holiday to get rested, they go away to get ahead, attaching the word working to vacation as readily as most of us hang out the mental GONE FISHING sign. The big difference this year is that it's Hillary who is driving the agenda, soaking the rich where the rich are soaking, hoping to raise well over $1 million in 10 days...
...come to the realization that its interests cannot be adequately served by existing campus groups such as the PBH Animal Welfare Committee. We are Students at Harvard Erotically Engaged With Pets, or S.H.E.E.P. We reject the use of clinical terms such as "zoophilia" and describe ourselves as "theriosexual," a word which better describes the wild joy of our way of life...
...reasons. They have names like Vito, Vinnie, Angelo and Ritchie, to say nothing of her father, Frank (James Caan), who runs a family restaurant in Little Italy. That's "family" in the full post-Puzo sense of the word.

Everything in the "Cremaster" series swirls dizzily from there: for him, biological destiny is a prison. Escape from it is a heroic act--in fact, a spiritual right. Thus his transmogrified, half-human creatures elsewhere; his fixation on Houdini, the impossibly malleable escape artist; and now his Gilmore, who spent the better part of his adult life in prison, only to be released into the world, where...
...researcher in Cambridge, England, is apparently on the verge of developing a highly precise mass spectrometer that might be able to tackle the problem. Until then, NASA asteroid specialist Michael Zolensky and his colleagues will have little to do except wait ?- and collect more evidence. After getting the word out to be extra careful with new meteorite finds (previous discoveries have been tainted by suspicions that they had become contaminated by water from Earth's environment), Zolensky has had another hit on a rock that touched down in Morocco. "Lo and behold, it's the same stuff in a different...
