Used to be that the Accord was much bigger than the Civic.  There is
a curious scheme the carmakers practise such that small models are
made bigger and bigger over a few years, and then a new, small model
is introduced under a new name.  Remember when the Toyota Corolla
was the tiniest Toyota ?  It grew and grew, and got upgraded into
a top of the line car.  Then the Tercel came along as the bottom
end.  Now it's growing...

I have to agree with this.  Even though I think of cornbread as the "right"
bread for black-eyed peas, I could probably have forced down a few slices
of French bread, hot or cold -- or maybe the whole loaf.

Dear Neal
Thank you for your package - I got all of it (28 entries) - it looks
like a different list from the one I got in my search. I just
wonder if your Medline is only up to 1989 - I wonder if this is merely
a computer artefact and can be corrected for in some way. As you know,
in this field changes happen rapidly and the more up to date, the better.
I guess the other topic I would search if I had access to Medline is
anesthesia, general, though it is such a huge topic that it may be
difficult. (Another modifier might be  cardiology/heart and/or nervous
system/brain...I am concerned about it as I have never undergone the
process and have some reason to believe that there is cause for being
concerned about possible complications.)
        I am sorry if this puts you out and gives you more work on a day when
everyone is thinking about partying, but believe me, what you are
doing is a great help and I really appreciate it.

Thank you again - and a

Happy - and a Healthy - New Year to you and to us all -

Agnes

a contractor but effectively employed full-time), and that
there wouldn't be enough work to fill full-time contracting...
The good news is that I found another part-time job within about
an hour of him telling me this :-)  So... as of 1st Jan. I'll
be working two days with one company and two days with another
at the same combined salary as I've been on this year.  Quite a

        His name is Dinty Moore -- no word on his relationship to the stew
        company.  As Rashmi reports, he *didn't* use his initials in submitting
        the story.  My memory of the NYT Magazine article is that the subject
        matter of the anthology was Catholic school from the girl student's
        point of view.  And that nothing whatsoever stated that the writer had
        to be female.  Would the editor have complained if a Protestant woman
        had submitted a story?

I never used to swear, curse, or otherwise display potty-mouth until I got

"Rubbish!" "Piffle!" and, when appropriate, "I don't THINK so!"

I also have been occasionally heard to say "Praise be!" "Glory be!" and
"Thank goodness!" -- handily leaving out just for whom I intend the praise
or glory, or whose goodness I'm thanking.  :)

        I think we're back at last season's question: why would a Jew be a
        Jew-hater? Why would anyone turn against his/her own identity and
        line up with the more powerful oppressors? When I state it that
        way does the question contain implications of an answer (not
        necessarily *the* answer, of course...I don't think there is
        *AN* answer...)?

It also rather begs a question.  The 'self-hating jew' argument was about
people like Chomsky to whom the label was applied by others, just as Ken
is applying 'woman-hater' to Paglia.  One wonders if she'd agree with this
view of herself if she were here to answer Ken.

You were saying that attractive women are harassed by catcalls
in public and unattractive women are not, then?

I don't buy that one, either.

There are good-natured catcalls, and there are mean-spirited
catcalls, and the good-natured ones (generally) come from
good-natured people, and the mean-spirited ones from mean-
spirited people; the targets are *much* less relevant. The
nasty ones (as a rule) involve "dirty words", outright
insults, nasty suggestions, or even physical harassment.

An unattractive woman is as likely as an attractive one to
be the target of mean-spirited harassment.

As a dear, sweet, little-old-lady, I do know the psychic lift
that a good-natured compliment from a passing stranger can give.
One does not need to be pretty or well-built to receive such.
One does have to have the right frame of mind to recognize the
intent...
