...surprisingly hard to say. For someone who has dominated the U.S. media for months, Walker's identity remains markedly indistinct. He is, as both Woody Allen and Winston Churchill might say, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

The breed is conspicuous to Americans as caricature, all pinky rings and suntans, all echoes of Ari and his pals. But as individuals, they somehow remain indistinct, without celebrity, and so a royally scrutinized clan like the Kennedys can visit, take the sweet sea airs, and have opulence and privacy at the same address.

...million primary and secondary school students, have difficulty distinguishing between phonemes--the basic building blocks of language--and particularly between consonants like b, d and p, which fly by in milliseconds during conversation. The condition may also retard reading, since the children can't easily match up the indistinct sounds they hear with the letters on a page...
