Another store clerk joined us. She offered her impression that Palin "was like a snake for some reason," but her co-worker admonished her to stop paying attention to "gossip.

...enthusiasm and unpretentious charm that makes you want to hang out with him--and buy his bikes. Just ask Harley-Davidson. The hogmaker fell under Buell's spell 15 years ago when it decided to purchase a 49% stake in the tiny company as a way to attract a younger demographic to the iconic baby-boomer brand.

Were there any that resembled “The Cabinet of Wonders?” Marie Rutkoski: Not in terms of things that I told my siblings. There are certainly stories that I used to tell myself...
...student and an even better person off the field—a sort of cross between Florida’s Tim Tebow (last year’s Heisman winner), and Jackie Robinson. Although his story is well-known among baby boomers, the legend of Davis is largely unknown to younger sports fans. If nothing else, “The Express” should familiarize another generation with Davis’s accomplishments. The problem, however, is that the film seems all too comfortable simply to remind us that Ernie Davis was quite a fellow—and in this respect...
