[00:05]bolt
[00:08]Doctorow lets light and air into these musty chambers.
[00:13]He has his hermits variously buffeted and seduced by outside forces.
[00:19]The doors are bolted and the windows are shuttered,
[00:23]but the 20th century crawls in through the cracks.
[00:30]bald
[00:32]He wore a ski cap on the top of his bald head for that practice.
[00:37]When I asked him why he needed the hat when he was otherwise dressed for summer,
[00:43]McKittrick went on with a breakdown of how research proved that
[00:48]the odds of catching a cold are reduced tremendously merely by putting on a hat.
[00:57]ban
[01:00]NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for
[01:08]any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child.
[01:15]band
[01:18]The outcome may not much matter to the wildly successful band,
[01:23]but it could have implications for the extent to which other groups
[01:28]decide to imitate the pay-what-you-want system
[01:35]bandage
[01:38]Obama's coolness is itself reassuring. He's not in a froth of panic
[01:44]and I don't need to be. It's like a doctor looking at your bleeding hand
[01:50]and just doing what works to bandage it without hysterics,
[01:54]without clucking his tongue, without a hint of anxiety.
[02:02]barrel
[02:05]The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that,
[02:10]if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year,
[02:16]compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill
[02:25]in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP.
[02:35]vanish
[02:36]A third of the plant and animal species could vanish
[02:41]if the polar ice melted and sea levels rose.
[02:49]vanish
[02:51]A: We are getting old, honey.
[02:53]B: Yeah, days are vanishing so quickly.
