...every face tells a story, Sean Penn's could be the great American novel. It's long and tough, complexly weathered, as if battered by hurricanes, twisters, unseasonable dry spells. The high hair, dudish sideburns and smoldering glower give him the aspect of a mug on a WANTED poster--a lifer more than a lover. The curved scar slicing through his right eyebrow is the signature to a portrait already rich in character. Other actors sell the moviegoer their affability; Penn's face is a confrontation with the dangerous unknown. It dares you to go on the bumpy ride that...

By then Willie had become William Allen White, owner and editor of the Emporia Gazette, which he was to make the loudest small-town editorial voice of the U.S. When Populists roughed up dudish Editor White on the street, he reacted in an editorial broadside, What's the Matter with Kansas? His answer: Populism. The editorial made Editor White a national figure and helped to elect William McKinley President. It also made Republican Boss Mark Hanna White's devoted patron, a circumstance which once gave President...
...despondent rooters began to pray for a miracle, Sinkwich's passes found the beam. Pitching with the brilliance of a Sammy Baugh, he plunked two into the paws of George Poschner, his former teammate at Youngstown's Chaney High, for two touchdowns in quick succession. Then Andy Dudish, a substitute halfback, grabbed an Alabama fumble, scooted for a third touchdown and the game, 21-to-10. It was Georgia's seventh victory of the season, its 13th...
