...league in hits at the age of 40, but 55 games were struck, he was heard to worry, "Cobb is getting further away." If not in Philadelphia at the mean end of the 1983 World Series against Baltimore, then in Montreal at the bad beginning of last year, the chase seemed doomed. Thanks in huge measure to Rose, their richest free agent, the Phillies in 1980 finally celebrated a world title after 97 barren years, but when they neglected to win another, he was discarded as too old. Benched in the third Series game against the Orioles, Rose...
...time local officials dreamed that it would become a world financial capital in a class with Singapore. No one talks that way today. The decline in construction financing and restrictions by Saudi Arabia on dealings in the riyal, the Saudi currency, have hurt business.

Punctuating the mayhem are sound effects (mooing, clucking, cat mewls, toad croaks) worthy of a Spike Jones symphony...
...forgot to tell you all about my first feature film, Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. Lots of our friends on Sesame Street helped me in the picture, and Mr. Snuffleupagus deserves an Oscar nomination for his sniffly farewell scene. I'm sure the other stars like Chevy Chase, John Candy and Sandra Bernhard join me in that sentiment. I think that with those little suggestions I made, the script really works now. I just loved the idea of me moving off to suburbia and then running away so that everyone would come chasing after...
