...Gomez broke the game wide open two minutes later when, from midfield, he outraced Penn fullback Art Swanson for a long pass. With the Penn goalie charging out of the net. Gomez drilled the ball on the ground past Biegel. At only 9:13 of the second period. Harvard held a commanding lead, and Penn fans began to discuss football...
...remember when I used to have trouble predicting these games. I was new to the art and I approached it on too much of an emotional plane. You know, picking with your heart, not your head.

...just because his talkative superstars sustain one's interest without a dramatic plan.

The process is not unlike the ethnic favoritism that prevails in some companies...
...attorney against an idealistic, pipe-smoking lawyer who is defending a bookseller accused of selling obscene matter. The matter in question is The Seven Minutes, a novel that records the thoughts of a woman while she is enjoying intercourse. "Filth!" cry the D.A., the church and civilian smut-busters. "Art," intones the defense and assorted experts. "Shame," says the reader who recognizes that Wallace fails to show an awareness of the 1966 Supreme Court ruling on Fanny Hill. The decision stated that a book offending community standards could be proscribed only if it was found to be "utterly without redeeming...
