...patient who lives in his hometown of Fernandina Beach, Florida, praises him for seeing her through a difficult pregnancy: "He held my hand through the whole thing." Yet Britton could be brusque and abrasive with clients he inherited from Gunn. Nor did he believe in turning the other cheek: he packed a .357 Magnum and talked freely about his willingness to shoot abortion protesters if they trespassed on his property with intent to harm...
...grunge and rap in later years. But its initial force was diverted quickly enough into the more market-friendly notion of new wave: here came the dance-beat torching of Blondie instead of the primal screeching of the Sex Pistols, red sneakers instead of the safety pin through the cheek. The ground was well prepared for the appearance of MTV in 1981, which ushered in the age of video rock stars, such as Duran Duran and Adam Ant, for whom the right look might outweigh all else.

...Chicago. Bolivia, grateful just to be in competition on the tepid shores of Lake Michigan, kept the Cup-holding Germans to a single goal before a crowd of 63,117 gathered in a great, poured-concrete tureen called Soldier Field.

The introduction says that it "is nota book to save or keep on the shelf. It deservescare ful reading by the practicing plastic andreconstructive surgeon." Indeed...
...made a few other week attempts at propaganda. Most notable was the strategically timed doordrop of the sporadic council Courier. Published with our term bill money, the council's publicity rag abandoned all pretense of neutrality, urging a "Yes" vote from all comers. If the council leadership has the cheek to use our term-bill money to persuade us to deliver more lucre into their coffers, then we a Dartboard have something to say to them: Congratulations! You have a promising future in politics...
