...England Speedway lets just about anyone burn a little rubber: races like the Street Eliminator series are limited to road-worthy stock cars. The sport is even more popular in the West and South. According to Jezak, "We're the only track in New England, but most other parts of the country have multiple tracks. North Carolina...
...landed in Congress's hands. Whatever misgivings people had about Starr's process and tactics were merely an overture to these past four weeks, in which again and again the Republican leaders signaled that they were determined to Uphold the Rule of Law, even if they had to burn it down in the process. Starr's report was published before any lawmakers had even read it, much less edited it to protect innocent bystanders.

...commander Dave O'Malley, and as he begged for his life, they "beat him and beat him." Perhaps as an afterthought, police say, the pair took Shepard's wallet and his shoes.

...becoming the greatest American pianist of the century when time ran out on William Kapell. Before he died in a 1953 plane crash at 31, he had everything: looks, charisma, unrivaled musicality, technique to burn. Now his complete recordings--concertos by Beethoven, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff, solos by Chopin, Debussy and Liszt, duet performances with Jascha Heifetz and William Primrose--have been reissued as a nine-disk boxed set, allowing a new generation to be dazzled by his recreative genius. Best of all is a live broadcast of the Copland piano sonata that seethes with passion and force. Hear...
