![THE heart may be deceitful above all things, but sometimes it can tell a truth hidden to the mind — as in a slim book published in 2000 by French political philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy. The text, titled "The Intruder," was a meditation occasioned by the heart transplant the author received in the late '80s, and the complications that arose when his immune system stubbornly rejected this life-saving intrusion.

'Coffee and Cigarettes'

The road once traveled by Jack Kerouac now leads straight to the mall.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-05/12620119.jpg "It's a drag that "cool\" has become such a useless word.
