'America as a shining beacon of justice is a lie'

This ring has lost its glitter.

Our cat's fur has lost its luster.

Her eyes flashed with joy.

This shampoo makes my hair shiny.

Distinctly reddish, it is a semiregular variable star whose apparent magnitude varies between 0.2 and 1.2, the widest range of any first magnitude star.

The mocking light in her eyes faded, but a smile of a different kind the knowledge of something unknown to him, and gentle sadness replaced the former expression of her face.

They could use it to parade their fancy cars (regardless of whether they own them or are just renting them to show off during vacation) and all their glitter.

SOUNDS OF FOOTSTEPS and a man's voice, then that of a woman followed by laughter, reached them, and the expected visitors entered the room, Sappho Stolz and a young man, shining with a superabundance of health, known as Vaska.

'Yes, I think so,' Anna replied as if surprised at the boldness of his question but the uncontrollable radiance of her eyes and her smile burnt him as she spoke the words.

A common sight in Russia is a shiny German made car with a bumper sticker recalling the glories of World War II On to Berlin or Thank you, grandfather, for the victory, and grandmother for the tough bullets.

'Yes, they divert all the sap, they produce a false glamour,' he muttered, pausing, and feeling that she was looking at him he turned round smiling.

But the heady glow of America s return to center stage in Asia has obscured key challenges in remaining the region s principal security anchor in the face of China s strategic ambitions.

On the pavement at the corner of the street, in a short fashionable overcoat and a small fashionable hat, his teeth gleaming between his smiling red lips, young, gay, and beaming, stood Oblonsky, determinedly and insistently shouting and demanding that Karenin should stop.

And suddenly, out of the mysterious, terrible, and unearthly world in which he had been living for the last twenty two hours, Levin felt himself instantaneously transported back to the old everyday world, but now radiant with the light of such new joy that it was insupportable.

'You did not expect me, eh?' said Oblonsky, getting out of the sledge with mud on his nose, cheek, and eyebrows, but beaming with cheerfulness and health.
