| 51bd4c8 | Another potential reason for BGLO's better treatment of women is that at predominately whites colleges, black fraternity members feel more accountable. "Black fraternity men, and many black students, cannot overcome the reputational constraints of the small black student population..... White fraternity men can be anonymous, while black fraternity men perceive themselves as being constantly visible and therefore continuously held accountabl.. | Alexandra Robbins | ||

| dbba549 | Jury paused. "This is a onetime offer. It won't come again. Choose." Melrose prepared to laugh like hell, but managed only a bark. "Onetime offer? You mean if I don't take you up on either of these jobs here and now, you'l I never ask me again?" "That is correct." "Is this the most ridiculous conversation we've ever had?" "No, we've had more ridiculous." | Martha Grimes | ||

| 7fcdf4a | Before Ernest could start walking back the cat, Melrose put in, "But isn't it rather we who have come here, Mrs. Attaboy?" At her uncomprehending look, he plowed on. "It is their country." "What? Africa?" "If Africa were a country, the answer would be yes." | humor | Martha Grimes | |

| ff1418f | To his horror, Melrose saw that these were name tags she was now pinning to the Attaboys' clothing and that the other guests were wearing them. To his double horror, he saw her hand closing on his lapel. He shoved it away. Her smile-mask cracked. "But everyone's wearing them just to make it easier." "I'd much rather make it harder." He walked off toward the drinks." | Martha Grimes | ||

Etta had raised her voice at this so that the comment sailed up and down the table, earning Bobbi North looks that implied she had just disemboweled a baby monkey on her dinner plate. She quickly turned to the old geezer on her right, realized that was not the best choice and that she was pretty much stuck with the monkey on the plate. .. | Martha Grimes | ||

The other members who were awake turned wide-eyed stares at Melrose, who was laughing so hard he was doubled up in his chair. "Just what the hell is so funny?" "Take care of her. This is Patty Haigh you're talking about. The same Patty Haigh who got through Heathrow s.. | Martha Grimes | ||

| 4c139c8 | Melrose sipped his tea and ate his bun in perfect peace. How wonderful! Solitude even at Ardry End was hard to come by. Perhaps he was fit for the life of a hermit. Give up all of his worldly possessions and go live in a hut on a shelf of rock and watch the sunrise every morning. Up before the sun! What a dreadful idea; he shuddered. | Martha Grimes | ||

| 154a95d | When the Russian delegate this summer indicated the Soviet Union's interest in sending medical equipment, Dr Shigeto went right away to see the delegate and settle the matter tactfully.

| 71baef8 | The baby was no longer on the verge of death; no longer would the sweet, easy tears of mourning melt it away as if it were a simple jelly. The baby continued to live, and it was oppressing Bird, even beginning to attack him. Swaddled in skin as red as shrimp which gleamed with the luster of scar tissue, the baby was beginning ferociously to live, dragging its anchor of a heavy lump. A vegetable existence? Maybe so; a deadly cactus. | Kenzaburō Ōe | ||

| 93e8e77 | You know that pen drawing of a brain on the wall above the desk in your study?" my wife said. "There's a single eye in the middle of it, and judging from the size of that eye, the brain seems a little smaller than normal. I wonder if that isn't a sketch of the other brain?" I did prize that sketch of a brain. It had been used as the frontispiece in a collection of essays that Professor W had published just after the war, On Madness and Othe.. | Kenzaburō Ōe | ||
| e4bb0b3 | Ero fermamente convinto di aver male interpretato quel grido, ma rimaneva il fatto che dentro di me - una massa di carne molle e rilassata che, al piano superiore del kura-yashiki, era intenta a un lavoro del tutto estraneo alla vita della valle - aveva provocato una risposta riflessa, quasi fossi un membro della comunita della conca. | Kenzaburō Ōe | ||
