...enough to excite the coolest gérant. Right off Mack Jones, the slugging voltigeur, hit a circuit. A few but sur balles later, he collected his fourth and fifth points produits with his second straight coup sur. But then John Bateman let a faux ballon pop out of his mitaine de receveur and the trouble began. An erreur here, a simple there and Dan McGinn, the ace lanceur de relève, was rushed to the rescue. But by then it was a whole new joute...
...themselves too numbed to grasp full command of the story until several hours after the shooting. Huntley and Brinkley seemed uncommonly beside the point; the early reporting hours demanded more footwork and fast talk-and less punditry. NBC anchorman Frank McGee shared with Sander Vanocur the credit for the coolest and ablest reporting on any channel...

In The Birthday Party, which has echoes of Hemingway's The Killers, two agents come to a rooming house, rough up one of the lodgers, and then take him for a ride. No explanation. Pinter knows that violence is more terrifying without reasons. No victim knows his hour, no executioner the source of his orders...
