...sadness of realizing there will be no more Hirschfelds is compounding by the prospect of no more new Ninas. So as a tribute to Mr. A. and Miss N., we have concealed her cognomen in and around the text of this column. How many are there? Look at the subhed. How many can you find? That...
...growing stigmatizing of a whole generation of Dutch-born Moroccans. So K__ Marokkanen has become something of an anthem among all sorts of foreigners living in the Netherlands. "So many people come up to me in the street and say they can identify with the sentiment expressed in the text," Raymzter says.

"We reached our eight-month sales target in eight weeks." The Gossard campaign was based on a television commercial that urged viewers who wanted a ?1 discount on a G-string...
...hope my inference is clear. The A’s go to people who wake us up, who talk to us, who are sparkling and different and bright. (The B’s go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly hooped letters with circles over the i’s.) Not, I remind you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and underlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz’s fallacies with their mothers. They often...
