...crabby soul. Her job is, essentially, to smile in public, yet she's never been good at it. The grin seems more a grimace, as if she grudges the effort it takes to move those facial muscles. If warmth and beauty are requisites of regality, she's flunked the test. Perhaps because of the coldness I sense in Elizabeth, I've often felt a sympathy for Charles, whom I'm guessing didn't get a lot of it at home. He works so hard at the game of ingratiation, and he's waited so long for the position...
...used to operating as if there is nothing suspicious in the bag,” Wolfe said. “As a result, they may see the item without reacting,” In the lab, if only two percent of the bags screened contained dangerous items, the test subjects missed the target items 40 percent of the time, according to Wolfe. “In real airports, the percentage of suspicious bags is much lower, so even under good conditions, the task is extremely difficult,” he said.

As surely as there are good and bad ways to arbitrarily drop the names of obscure social theorists in section, or to insert an obviously faulty counterargument into an essay that...
Tomorrow’s 1 p.m. contest between No. 22 Harvard (2-0) and Lehigh (1-2) at Goodman Stadium will be yet another test for the squad. The subject is nothing new: try out a new quarterback. This week will feature junior Richard Irvin starting behind the center, the third quarterback in as many games in 2006. Last weekend’s starter, sophomore Jeff Witt, is out two weeks with a separated shoulder. “I’ve never been remotely through a situation like that,” Crimson coach Tim Murphy said...
