...become. The President chose to campaign for two of the more skeevy candidates offered by the Republicans this year, the adulterous Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood and the macaca-stained Virginia Senator George Allen. One might legitimately ask, Why on earth would he do that? The answer, I suspect, is twofold. Bush, ever antsy, was desperate to campaign somewhere, hoping to replicate his stunning late-campaign successes on the stump in 2002 and 2004. But there aren't too many Republicans in the really hot races-that is, races that will be decided by moderate voters-who want to be seen...
...they do in the ‘real world,’ and vice versa.” Although extracurriculars are indeed integral to the Harvard education, the faculty’s disconcerting initiative threatens to disrupt an already successful system.The initiative is based on the perception of a twofold “problem:” first, that students have “a tendency…to regard their extracurricular life as separate from their academic experience,” and second, that “few formal procedures” exist for faculty to encourage students...

...engaging in foreplay and deferring the climactic act. "'You're even better than I thought,' she said. 'You're a man with the instincts of some jungle animal. It has to be when you say so, doesn't it?' ... 'Not before,' I told her." The plot logic is twofold: that Hammer can't have sex with the woman he's going to kill on the last page, and that is trying to be faithful to his ever-lovin' Velda. But the way it plays is that Mike is less turned on by women who show they're turned...
