...easygoing pair has a propensity for planning capers and getting into trouble. Take their ticket-scalping scheme for last year's Culture Rhythms: "We bought 50 or 70 tickets and released them slowly," Aaron explains with a laugh. "It worked like a charm and we charged whatever the market would bear. We even got e-mails this year asking for tickets," (Perhaps this explains this year's two ticket-per-person limit.) Their troubles now tend to be more dangerous. "We almost got shot in Central Square," Aaron recalls. "Whenever we go out, trouble just finds us." "Trouble finds...

My tears were compulsive, reflexive, the way I imagine tears to be for women when they watch female weepies like An Affair to Remember, in which Deborah Kerr...
...Professor Bartleboom, who tries to measure the end of the infinite sea, and Plasson the painter who tries to paint where the sea begins. As Bartleboom combs the beach with his measuring stick and Plasson paints on a white canvas with seawater, the reader can only laugh at Baricco's overly solemn attempts at symbolism.
