"Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school -- but no one knows it. Most people -- her teachers and doctors included -- don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could...

Every Sunday evening, millions of viewers tune in to 60 Minutes to hear Andy Rooney riff on everything from coffee percolators to the state of the union. Millions more read his weekly newspaper column. Why? Because Rooney tells it like it is. But Rooney fans have never seen him quite like this. Andy Rooney is plain frustrated by what's going on in America and the world. Why can't Americans — let alone our president — speak English anymore?...

Every time, you say the same thing! I am telling you, I am getting tired of telling folk. Listen, do what I do! This way you get the town off your back and a toughness to your name.
He said handing his ticket to the man missing an arm and a leg. He sat in the same spot, next to the perfect resting tree in front of a crystal clear running brook, next to the perfect pissing tree, and just far enough away from seeing people being auctioned off.

Amid the dark there are rays of light to bring balance and evoke a smile. The extraordinary thing about the poems collected here is that they should be the product of only one mind. It is as if 60 separate writers were given the task of producing a single piece on any subject and...

As theologians we cannot escape the transition from the information age to the conceptual age of the twenty-first century. In the information age the theologian could give answers based on the best information, but in the twenty-first century information is on hand.
