Call up Eddie Adams' 1968 photo of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, the police chief of Saigon, firing his snub-nosed revolver into the temple of a Viet Cong officer. Bright sunlight, Saigon: the scrawny police chief's arm, outstretched, goes by extension through the trigger finger into the V.C.'s brain.

How, exactly, can a man "psychologically", and not physically, rape a woman...

...without a running game, Harvard's burden of scoring points--and with the defense surrendering 37 points per game, it has been a burden of Atlas-like proportions--falls squarely on the right arm of Perry. The senior quarterback has passed for 844 yards and seven touchdowns, but has also thrown seven interceptions and has still not developed the ability to avoid the sack...
