...failure, but rather because of it. The hype was justified, the music was that good, and yet it crashed and burned and it’s all very tragic and still wonderful. In Sept. 1966, Brian Wilson, with Parks, began in earnest to work on the concept of Dumb Angel, which they soon renamed Smile. They churned out “Heroes and Villains,” a tribute to the Old West intended to be a single; “Wonderful,” a gentle harpsichord piece with a gorgeous, intricate melody; and “Surf?...
...worship leader. "Foley took a stand, and I went with him. I couldn't raise my children in the Episcopal Church." Eight Bible-study classes and a baby-sitting service suggest that others feel similarly.

In 1958 Riina and Provenzano led a fatal ambush on Navarra, riddling his car with 112 bullets, leaving Liggio as the undisputed godfather. An internal Mafia war followed, and Provenzano disappeared into the hills in 1963. Liggio was arrested in 1974 and died in prison 19 years later, leaving Riina...
Brown coach Phil Estes was the first to address the throng of media in attendance. His first task was, unsurprisingly, to tell us about his defense. After discussing his star defensive back Angel Gutierrez, he ran off a slough of names—each of which has the phrase “very physical” next to it in my notes. I can’t be certain if he actually used that description in association with each of the players he mentioned or if I just got bored and went into “very physical?...
