...nestle down next to a writer and mold text without making the author remember that their story was less-than-fabulous in the beginning. (She edited my cheating story via with this method in the wee hours of Wednesday morning last week and it would have been gibberish without her.) But if Liz is the left shoe, she’ll join her right shoe when she struts into the job: the estimable Rachel E. Dry. This magazine never had a better equation for success...
...homes with a sunny, exotic tune stuck in their heads.) The genius of Ketchup is that its bouncy chorus--"Asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibunouva/Majavi an de buguni an de buididipi"--means the same thing in Spanish as in English: nothing. The words are a gibberish homage to the opening line of the first rap song, Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 hit Rapper's Delight. America's familiarity with the original incomprehensible lyrics--"I said a hip hop, the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop"--have fueled Ketchup...
...achievement for the quirky trio and their deliriously silly song, which, more than any other piece of pop music in recent memory, vindicates the rants of all who turn on the radio and complain that they can't understand a word that's being sung.

One might also think it beyond the complex minds of the intellectually talented to run around with towels as capes pretending to be superheroes and to organize a day dedicated to cross-dressing and prancing around in the undergarments of the opposite sex. My favorite example of eccentricity, though, occurred on the final day of the first term, when one student decided that his ice cream...
...patients turn up in their waiting rooms. If HHS, the CDC and other government agencies are jostling one another on the podium, the message is often mixed. And when you toss in the local police and the FBI--as was the case with anthrax--that mixed message turns to gibberish. During the hantavirus outbreak of 1993, the government handled the problem well, with Dr. C.J. Peters, then chief of special pathogens at the CDC, taking the lead in answering questions, even though the HHS Secretary was technically the senior health authority working on the problem. "We decided that I would...
