[00:01]stoop
[00:02]In youth-oriented movies and books, the guy like me
[00:06]often has a huge crush on a specific blond cheerleader who
[00:10]doesn't know he exists and would never stoop to talking to him.
[00:15]troop
[00:17]This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks
[00:21]and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the
[00:24]troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube.
[00:30]sudden
[00:32]Yet, dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be
[00:35]seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget
[00:39]can be interpreted to have survived through a process of
[00:42]natural selection in animals.
[00:45]burden
[00:47]As the battle enters its final stage in Washington, a
[00:50]rebellion is taking shape in the states, which are alarmed
[00:53]about the new financial burdens they will face in a
[00:57]revamped system.
[01:00]sweat
[01:02]Everyone knows what to expect once they reach the
[01:05]phalanx of soldiers waiting for them on the other side
[01:09]of the barrier: namely, blood, sweat and teargas, and an
[01:13]hour of each side baiting the other before the crowd is
[01:17]dispersed and hostilities cease for another week.
[01:21]feat
[01:23]Allenby was trying to win his third consecutive
[01:26]tournament on three tours, a feat believed to have never
[01:29]been accomplished, and he gave himself every chance.
[01:33]threat
[01:35]Massive one-time borrowing to stave off a once a
[01:38]century economic threat is one thing. Obama's
[01:42]projections of $500 billion-plus deficits for years to come
[01:47]are quite another.
