...about 1,000 more joining them each year. There's a world of difference, though, between a homebuilt ultralight and a homebuilt experimental plane. Ultralights have to weigh less than 256 lbs. fully fueled and go no faster than about 63 m.p.h., and they can be flown only during daylight hours. You don't need a license to fly one, and you don't need an inspection to make sure it's safe. Many ultralights are elegant and airworthy; the plane featured in last year's movie Fly Away Home is a good example. But if you strapped a snowmobile...
...Well, they're just following the Lone Star State, the nation's execution capital, which so far this year has put to death 132 inmates. Once, most executions took place at midnight, the better to avoid the crowds that congregated at daylight hangings. But with Texas' hectic killing schedule, a lot of folks were forced to miss a lot of sleep, so in 1995 the Texas department of criminal justice moved the time to the dinner hour, 6 p.m. Prison officials got to go to bed early, and judges did not have to be wakened with last-minute appeals...

Montana leaves you some leeway. You can drive whatever speed seems "reasonable and prudent" during daylight hours, depending on conditions...
...Harvard offense did show sparks, however. Both McLaughlin and fellow senior striker Toure McCluskey found daylight-more so than in the prior two games. At one point, McLaughlin maneuvered past two Columbia defensemen and released a blast just inside the 18-yard box. The rebound squirted out in front of the net to McCluskey whose second-chance was denied by a diving Napolean...
...have to spend time in a labyrinth, these are the kind of guys to do it with--tough, canny realists who can follow a tangled thread to daylight. Well, hmmm, daylight. There's not much of that in L.A. Confidential. It's a movie of shadows and half lights, the best approximation of the old black-and-white noir look anyone has yet managed on color stock. But it's no idle exercise in style. The film's look suggests how deep the tradition of police corruption runs. And that, paradoxically, makes it as outrageous (and outraging) as tomorrow...
