The party takes place in a large garage-cum-recreation room (outfitted with a pool table and a Ping-Pong table), where the men assemble and engage in various vigorous activities: dancing in pairs; giving preening displays of their muscular forms; engaging in a raucous brawl that finds one of them shorn of clothing, skittering around the stage clutching his genitals.

Shorn of its once idiosyncratic temples to cool and separated by generations from the man who gave his name to the store (there really was a Barney, and his grandson Gene at least tried to be the embodiment of the cool the brand was selling) and absent a recognizable brand semiology like Bloomingdale's Big Brown Bag, Barneys becomes just a word.

"At the end of this I have to say, in all honesty, Oxbow's entire oeuvre is as challenging of a thing as I have ever been involved in, and whose "success" was never guaranteed as it was about war with self, others, fate, circumstance and shorn of a moral framework, making it strange to use, but a certain kind of evil," Robinson reflects.

On a recent morning at the Metropolitan Detention Center, sitting in a plastic chair in an airless, glassed-in booth in what resembled a large hospital waiting room — minus the televisions, the pastel watercolor paintings, the magazines and the windows — Mr. Espada seemed shorn of the grandiloquence that those in Albany had come to know so well over the two decades of his singularly unruly political career.

One of the reasons many in the West have heard of Zen but not any other big Japanese Buddhist sect is that from around the turn of the 20th century, canny Zen advocates worked with allies in the United States and elsewhere to present it as the answer to Westerners' prayers: Meditation promised direct spiritual experience, shorn of Christianity's increasingly unpalatable doctrines and institutional authority.

Big metallic drums, a dynamic, rubbery rhythm guitar figure, and the full-bodied bounce of the horn section, all played by various members of the Revolution, combine to produce a slicker, more modern-sounding funk than the retronuevo style in "Housequake," the kind of polished bubblegum funk that might conceivably have topped the charts if given a verse-chorus-verse structure, shorn of several horn solos, and trimmed to a respectable length rather than nine full minutes.

Oh you real effulgent frailties Look a book, a banister, a sinister affirmation of how little we achieve in looking a bog, an orchard, an icy shore shorn of longing a flower, a power- line flecked with lingering over their split tails, then the mass of them amassing living darkening cloud When they settle I am slumped in my plushest lonely meadow, nook look, look the augur of them in the unfamiliar immediacy of any old mothering oak

The problem with most diet books, and with popular-science books about diet, is that their impact relies on giving us simple answers, shorn of attendant complexities: it's all about fat, or carbs, or how many meals you eat (the Warrior diet), or combinations of food groups, or intervalic fasting (the 5:2 diet), or nutritional genomics (sticking to the foods your distant ancestors may have eaten, assuming you even know where your folks were during the Paleolithic era).

Instead, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has been present to take up the populist mantle, the NYT's Mark Landler writes, promising to root out corruption, roll back regulations and make his country a good place to do business: Mr. Bolsonaro's keynote address set the tone for a Davos gathering shorn of its usual retinue of American and European leaders, wrestling with political forces, from Latin America to Europe, that are starkly at odds with this conference's ethos of global cooperation and a liberal world order.

It was not so much a rejection of the Trump agenda as it was a rejection of the whole Trumpian mode of politics, which since our president's election has consisted of a trebling down on the most unattractive features of his campaign style, a fervent commitment to "triggering the libs" shorn of any populist substance, and a cocksure assumption that any Republicans who aren't in it for the liberal-triggering care enough about judges and abortion or their tax cuts or the soaring stock market to swallow hard and go along.

But while that secular liberalism, in its meritocratic-elite form, may present itself as a vehicle for long-suffering minorities to finally grasp power, in many ways it is also a peculiar post-Protestant extension of the old WASP ascendancy — shorn of that ascendancy's piety and sense of duty, but still at war with fundamentalists on one flank and Catholics on the other, still determined (to borrow an image from National Review's Michael Brendan Dougherty) to impose the current doctrines of Episcopalians on the Baptists and the Papists.
