Carswell and Shearer were two bright stars in the otherwise dim constellation that was the 1996 men's track team, which was plagued by injuries all season...
...sell. The U.S. had information, Secretary of Defense William Perry confirmed, that China was trying to buy technology, and possibly parts, of the SS-18 missiles built in Ukraine and deployed in the former Soviet Union. China has already deployed a few icbms, but Washington takes a dim view of China's acquiring technology from the huge, accurate, 10-warhead SS-18, the most threatening weapon in the Soviet nuclear arsenal.

She, meanwhile, remains offstage (not an asset in the sort of novel in which at least a modest degree of bodice ripping is expected) but does manage to drive the tobacco lawyers to blithering distraction with a series of enigmatic...
Apparently, serving jail time for statutory rape isn't enough notoriety for JOEY BUTTAFUOCO. The unemployed car mechanic started a ruckus when he accused Amy Fisher's father of abusing his daughter. "Diddled" was how Buttafuoco put it on Howard Stern's national radio show. Elliot Fisher took a dim view of this remark and phoned in to deny it vehemently. After that, things got really ugly--even Mary Jo Buttafuoco joined in--and Stern found himself doing something uncharacteristic: restoring sanity...
