If I'm creating a new superhero, it shouldn't be any different from other superheroes in terms of the qualities. Obviously the personality can be different.

The school had a faculty of local artists - Jeanette and Robert Blair, James Vullo who were well known in the area.

Introverts living in the Extrovert Ideal are like women in a man's world, discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are.

What we all have to realize is that these pills are chemical cousins of heroin - one is an illegal opioid and one is legal, but they are relatives.

As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men.
