...other modern-day shams. Edwards' wife Candy, who at 35 looks young enough to be his granddaughter, took it all in from the front row. His son Stephen had an even better seat: he's one of six co-defendants. One last scene setter: Edwards was masterly in his catch-me-if-you-can defense the last time the feds dropped the net. His 1985 racketeering trial, involving hospital licenses, ended in a mistrial, followed by an acquittal...
...snapper during a Caribbean vacation with his new wife Rosamund. Bellow readily acknowledges that this part of the novel was lifted pretty directly from his own life in 1994. "I was in St. Martin, and I went to a little French restaurant. I said, 'Do you have any local catch?' thinking that I'd outsmart the frozen-fish scene. But it didn't work, because it is the inland fish, the reef feeders, who get these poisons."

A couple of years ago I took my 17 year old nephew to Boston with the premise that if I should suffer for half a century, he might as well catch the Red Sox-Fenway Park "virus" and suffer...
...Super Bowl XXVII, the Dallas Cowboys were handily beating the Buffalo Bills 52-17 in the fourth quarter. Then, after recovering a fumble, Leon Lett rumbled his way towards the endzone. However, Lett started celebrating prematurely and allowed the speedy Don Beebe to catch up with him and strip the ball. The idiotic fumble didn't cost the Cowboys the win that year, but it did keep them out of the record books. A 59-17 win would have been the most decisive victory in Super Bowl history, and the 59 points would have been the most scored...
