is about poetry, and the title is from an Emily Dickinson poem. Now it's very easy to read Emily Dickinson from the point of view of neuroscience. I mean, she almost seems to be writing from the point of view of neurosciences sometimes.

The genius of the Alvarez character--"The woman with the best chin in news"--is the way she embodies two of the most distinctive aspects of contemporary television news, cruelty and anchor inflation. Her cold heart even extends to ruthless put-downs of her co-presenter Tucker Hope, who masochistically worships the ground on which she walks. But it is the viewers she really hates. When a mild-mannered history teacher points out an ONN factual error, she sets a news/surveillance team on her, revealing that her husband is having an affair and her pupils hate her. She also gives away the exact location of her house.
