...cards, in which the visual form of Koetsu's writing chimes wonderfully with the loops and eddies of Sotatsu's water, the spikes of his plant stems and the slow blur of his distant mountains. And Koetsu's calligraphies on sheets of paper pasted together, paper made in the subtlest imaginable tints and textures, a salmon pink abutting the most delicate smoky blue, display a sensibility that seems an etherealized version of Georges Braque...
...state seasoning: the governor has "a track record of dealing straight with people and keeping his word," so allies and enemies alike can respect the U.S. From Cheney it made sense.

It also boasts an accent that is defiantly English--Yorkshire, even--with a dash of Yank bravado from visiting star Mel Gibson...
Wooden was a teacher. He taught on a constant basis, from showing us how to put our shoes and socks on, to building a foundation based on the human values and personal characteristics embodied in what he called his Pyramid of Success. All of this was done in the subtlest of ways. While our practices were the most demanding endeavors, both physically and emotionally, that I've ever been a part of, there was always the sense of people having fun playing a simple game...
