The Gettysburg Adress has been included, of late, in several anthologies of poetry.

The stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.

He heard the NPR show, contacted them, and essentially - shortest synopsis ever, like I'm the Cablevision guide button - it's the true story of a man stalking and plotting to kill the man who raped him when he was seven. It's by a brilliant reporter named David Holthouse.

Not being experts on the soul but assuming cautiously that it has some connection with the body, we set our captives to doing pushups and marching back and forth.
J. M. Coetzee

We wonder at ourselves, like men betrayed.
