This boat appeared to be manned by four skeletons. Their cheek bones stood out like knots, their ribs were clearly defined as if they were painted on.

The four men who were rowing that shell were a special breed of oarsmen known as 'lightweights'.

I started spinning house and R&B. I was taught how to DJ from house producers, so it was mostly house music in the beginning.

The middle way is still driving on the wrong side of the road; it still permits the killing of the fox for pleasure. One cannot kill half a fox. Like Monty Python parrot, a fox torn apart by hounds remains dead, deceased and off its perch for ever.

The middle way is a compromise that still seriously compromises the welfare of the fox.

Why don't you just put two of them in storage?'" That's how I feel.

Six decades later, at the end of the 20th century, the National Adult Literacy Survey and the National Assessment of Educational Progress say 40 percent of blacks and 17 percent of whites can't read at all.

You can get the oldest drum machine out and whack out four sounds like a kick, snare, and two types of high-hat, and try and come up with the freshest thing on the spot.
