His daughter had brought down an avalanche of joy on him today. He knew she'd taken her poems to Moscow, but from those typewritten sheets to a book w Alla Rusanova on the title page had seemed an impassably long distance.

Nowadays we don't think of man's love of an animal; we laugh at people who are attached to cats. But if we stop loving animals, aren't we bound to stop loving people too?

Vadim put his book on the window sill. Cautiously using his hands to help him, he lowered his bad leg on the floor, then followed it w the other. Apart from the scarred leg which he nursed carefully, he looked like a ballet dancer as he walked toward the door.

Although Momma was responsible for the death sentence he was now under, hecould not reproach her, either to her face or behind her back. It was wrong to be too pragmatic, to judge people purely by results; it was more humane to judge by intentions.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

That pitiful, yellow-looking patient w the pinched nose who was being eaten away w cancer of the lungs sat in bed, panting as he breathed through his balloon__you could hear the wheezing in his chest. Had he always been as small as that, or was it the disease that shriveled him?

You see, Vera Kornilyevna, everything that's gone wrong in my life has been because I was too devoted to democracy. I tried to spread democracy in the army, that is, I answered my superiors back. That's why I wasn't sent off to officers' training college in 1939, but stayed in the ranks.

When he woke next it was in the middle of the night & the place was dark & silent.
He felt that sleep had vanished forever. It's beneficent veil had slipped away from him. But terror, in full measure, clamped on to the middle of his chest & held it in a vice.

Absolutely. Thanks to Gov Hochul of NY, we should see our SNAP monies by the end of the week. Still 2 weeks wo food stamps is difficult and stressful. TY DT, the monster in the House.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
