...contemporary experiment in populism, not just to catch more of the mayor's antics. The press delights in portraying Kucinich as a sort of political punk-rocker: he's rude, he's vicious, he's noisy, he's politically outspoken, and he looks barely old enough to be the beau of Akron's hardnosed heart-throb, 16-year-old Rachel Sweet...
...unofficial second capital of England, where royalty, bucks and dandies gambled, flirted and soaked in the mildly radioactive waters that gave the town its name. The springs (120° F) still gush a quarter of a million gallons a day as they did for the Romans, and for Richard ("Beau") Nash who came to Bath in 1705 and inspired the construction of its great Palladian crescents and squares of honeygold sandstone.

When Norma Rae finally causes all the machines in the mill to be stopped through the sheer force of her belief in justice, our response is to wonder why it took so long for the film...
Marzo tried to open it up when on third down, he took to the air from the 50-yard line. Potysman, everyone's beau ideal of a cornerback, stepped in front of intended receiver Mike Gettman for the interception, picked up a block from the ubiquitous Woolway, and blazed 58 yards down the left sideline for the score...
