...reads the reviews of HOWARD STERN's new television show. Stern, who was merciless to the basketballer while Johnson had a talk show, got slapped with the most dire content warning (TV-MA), lower national Nielsen ratings than a nonlive version of rival Saturday Night Live and a DD cup's worth of critical bile for his debut network effort.

...collided with the jagged obstacles and barbed wire that the Germans had embedded along the beach. The heavily burdened invaders had to scramble out into neck-deep water, or worse. A number of amphibious craft loaded with artillery turned back. Armored units had an even harder time. Their Sherman DD tanks were outfitted with devices that were supposed to keep them afloat while they lurched ashore, but of the first 32 launched, 27 sank in the choppy waves and plunged to the bottom, taking most of their helpless five-man crews with them...
