Bush giving Merkel a neck rub during the G8 meeting in St. Petersburg in 2006, German papers dubbed the gesture a "love attack" - a demonstration of Bush's reciprocal affection for the German Chancellor...
...friend who sent Coppola encouraging notes on his Megalopolis script was Wendy Doniger, the first girl he had ever kissed and the one who gave him On the Road when they were students at Great Neck High School in Long Island, New York, in the '50s.

Rich nowadays and in want of nothing material, what he'd like most for his birthday is a change of government. On this warm weekday afternoon, at a mall...
Princeton was wholly unimpressive in its recent visit to Cambridge, but the Tigers return home to host the Big Red under the lights. Cornell, like most door-to-door sugar seekers, is far more comfortable in its own neck of the woods; it hasn’t won on the road since 2005, a span of six straight defeats...
