Entry: implacable (adj.)
In context: "In the home of a snot-strangled Canadian VIP and the office of an implacable Revere A.D.A. whose wife opted for dentures at thirty-five."

Other: I love this word.
And on a personal note - I'm on summer vacation! Two months of camping, travel, and fun. I'll be in San Diego for a good bit of July, so if you have any suggestions for things to do, especially active things, please drop me a line.
