...just past 9:30 a.m. when construction workers Francisco Alonso and Ramón López wander into a bar in Cadaqués, northeastern Spain, for their morning aperitif. But the prospect of a full day's work ahead has no influence on their choice of refreshment: a nonalcoholic beer called Free Damm. "Normally I'd be drinking regular beer," says López, 54, breaking into a gaptoothed smile. "But I just had four teeth pulled, and I'm on antibiotics."

...London, where world leaders debated how to fix the global economy. U.S. President Barack Obama, the Prime Minister confides, borrowed an analogy of Rudd's in his speech, while President Hu Jintao of China chatted with him in Mandarin.

And maybe the CGI techies could quickly black out one of Jack's teeth...
...time I reached Harvard, I had learned how to sit relatively still for an hour and to reduce others’ thoughts to halfway comprehensible scribbles.[no paragraph break here] Part of the trick to remaining sane while sitting still for so long is to allow the mind to wander invisibly. At best, it wanders to a place where the lecturer’s ideas are tested and challenged, which means that one has also missed ten minutes of the ongoing lecture.
