When the room opened in 1939 with Jack Sweeney at the helm, it quickly became a center of literary life in Cambridge. Regular literary salons-- part poetry reading, part workshop--were held for an elite circle invited to the third-floor room in Widener. The collection moved to the room's present quarters in Lamont Library in the '50's, but the wooden sign saying "Poetry Room" remains on the door of the old Widener quarters to this...
With the pols shelved, enter the regular folk whose stories will be used to trumpet the Bush agenda. As one aide-de-Dubya put it, the emphasis is on "nontraditional groups," i.e., "lots of women, lots of minorities." The first night will feature students from the mostly Hispanic KIPP Academy, a Houston charter school that Bush frequently touts. Finally, there's the entertainment.

Also, they are less likely to remarry than other divorced...

(This year's gay guy, before coming out to his housemates, coyly announced he had "a secret," and regular viewers who had witnessed previous coming outs knew in a split second what it would be. If you use that line by the show's ninth season, you'd better have a severed head in your luggage.) But that casting has also proved genuinely worthwhile. Pedro Zamora explicitly used...
