...what shocked me about reading my application to Harvard was how astonishingly little I’ve changed. The young, “gentle” budding-neurobiologist with interests in newspaper writing and music who walked into Matthews Hall three years ago looks pretty similar today, except the gentle part, which Harvard has slowly molded into skepticism and acid...
...dangerous side effects. This is all patently disingenuous. No one has any idea how many people might ultimately be exposed to anthrax. And why are we supposed to shrug off the allegedly tiny risk of getting anthrax but worry profoundly about the tiny risk of side effects from Cipro--except that both attitudes support the conclusion that you shouldn't buy Cipro...

Britain's Ace Alibi Agency curbed memberships at 1,200. A California branch was so successful it has now gone national...

Most of the canvas remains blank and open; the branch twists unrealistically. Abstract and the real coexist on this canvas with its guardedly ironic sensibility—the monkey examines the bee as we might examine the painting...
