BODY:
Well, the New York Times is doing something
right. Under fire for failing to detect the fabrications
of reporter Jayson Blair, an error-prone rookie
who rose through the ranks despite the doubts of a key supervisor, Times
executives responded last week, with, among other things, a bit of colorful
language. Specifically, Times Co. chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr.,
speaking to hundreds of employees in a closed-door meeting, said the newspaper
did not handle the Blair case well, that the resulting situation is regrettable,
that in fact, "It sucks."
It sucks? Can the top dog say that?

The other part of the story lies in the expression
itself, which once had strong sexual connotations. "Words change,"

CRESTED auklets use the citrus smell of the
opposite sex to help pick out a mate -- the first example of a bird using
smell in social communication.
The Alaskan seabirds have a pungent tangerine
smell in the breeding season. During courtship the birds perform a "ruff
sniff" where they rub up against each other's neck feathers, where
the smell is strongest.

It's resume-polishing time. ... In the increasingly
competitive battle to get into the best colleges, many students are convinced
that top grades, high scores on standardized tests and a healthy smattering of extracurricular activities
are still not enough to attract closer attention from admissions directors.
So, like the strippers in "Gypsy," everybody has to have a gimmick.
For some, that involves showing that the period between Memorial Day and
Labor Day was spent on a worthy venture.
