...momentum change with about seven and a half minutes to play when he turned his head away from the action. Yale winger Lee Jelenic dished the puck deep to Vin Hellemeyer and took the liberty of knocking down senior goaltender Oli Jonas to give his linemate a clearer shot...
...virtually seamless homage to them, not so much in subject matter as in studiously quoted poses and meticulously conscious structures. His power of organization was awesome; his spread of quotation, wide. What caused the individual citations to hang together, though, was his eye for nature. Nowhere is this clearer than in his huge composition of 1937, The Mountain.

When the Supreme Court first heard the Florida election dispute, it issued a ruling in a 9-0 vote vacating the Florida Supreme Court's first decision and directed the Florida justices to provide a clearer explanation for their reasoning. And when the Justices took up the issue again, some court watchers were predicting that Chief Justice William Rehnquist would do everything possible to craft a Solomonic decision that again brought liberal and conservative Justices together...
