Bible's first shepherd, slain by brother Cain, a jealous tiller of the soil. As a stand-in for St. Christopher, the bearer of the young Christ, Tiffauges must carry Tournier's most cumbersome load. This is the burden of innocence, the surprisingly heavy weight of the holy child, who is shouldered above the flood but also protects his carrier from sin and danger...

Furthermore, Arnold says, there might actually be a savings if muon beams were used to take some of the load off communications satellites. Aimed beyond the earth's atmosphere, a muon beam would be bent down toward the surface again by the earth's magnetic field and could be detected hundreds of miles from its point of origin...

Overworked on the House Appropriations Committee, where he felt he could easily use five staff assistants, and constantly required to fly home to serve constituents and attend meetings, Riegle felt "like a piece of meat being hauled here and there...
