Albert Claude

And here come the Left Brothers - Al 747 Sharpton and Jesse DC 10 Jackson - barreling in for a landing on top of Goodell's dome.

Love doesn't have to be perfect. Even perfect, it is still the best thing there is, for the simple reason that it is the most common and constant truth of all, of all life, all law and order, the very thing which holds everything together, which permits everything to move along in time and be its wonderful or ordinary self.
