...remiss if I were to fail to mention one last symbol of power that I encounter daily on Park Avenue. Each day, as I wade through piles of second class mail, I am beset with magazines from Harvard, Yale and Princeton. The best and brightest of the past few generations are living well and are inundated with mail from their alma maters. Sadly, too many of the Harvard alumni show some sort of interest in me only when they learn that I go to their alma mater. Only then do I cease to be an automaton, only then do they...
...plaintiffs' favor is that they're starting to get access to the private records of the gun industry. In the past, suits like these were usually dismissed in the early stages.

And who wants to wade through all the awful stuff that's certain to crowd out the brilliance? Attempts at forging serious art from random accessibility have been interesting in an experimental way. But not accessible in a random kind...
...been bred in Dobson's lab. A Gingrich pet when he came to Congress as part of the blow-the-House-down freshman class of 1994, he was awarded a coveted seat on the Ways and Means committee. He announced his candidacy on the 25th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and got so choked up denouncing the decision that he had to stop speaking. He wants creationism to be taught at school after the kids say a prayer. He's for guns of every variety and promised never, ever to hire a gay person. But his personal life...
