...other hand, he feels obliged to describe what a stud he is: "In the weekday summer afternoons they would often make love in his parents' bed. Fiona would actually weep in frustration when he fell asleep after reaching his own climax." Is he as sensitive and profound an artist as his songs would suggest, or is he really just out for some action...
Such was the unexpectedly heart-warming climax to a thoroughly manic chase after the biggest prize ever offered in the U.S. The award had swollen to epic size because no winner had been declared in seven successive plays of New York's Lotto 48 game. As the jackpot climbed first to $23 million, then $33.5 million and finally to its peak, serpentine lines of ticket buyers formed all over the state, each person shelling out $1 for each chance to choose two sets of six numbers.

Send the script to Sly Stallone...

The handful of reporters in the play who show glimmers of decency are hounded out of the trade or nullified by their editors or derailed by their own greed ^ and ambition. In the climax of the plot, the forces of virtue, somewhat tarnished themselves, are gulled into printing a libel that undoes their chances of stopping an evil publisher. Like too many journalists, these dubious heroes simply believe what people tell them and thus are easily misled...
