...smoke and fire were heavy at one end of this upside-down cabin section, but the breakup opened a wide escape avenue at the other end. "I looked for where the emergency exit used to be," said David Landsberger, a New Jersey businessman who had been in Seat 13B. "But it wasn't there. Then I looked toward the front of the plane, and I saw daylight. Then I saw green stuff beyond the mud, and when I got out I found myself in a cornfield...
...superb album, yet the solid commercial breakthrough would come with his second release, Building the Perfect Beast. Its keynote single, The Boys of Summer, a romantic song full of nostalgia and vitriol, won Henley a Grammy.

Some patients might have been grateful for such candor; Roetting went home in tears. "I think everybody who has cancer knows...
...economy is still creaking forward, the recession monitor is flashing yellow in Detroit. The reckoning was postponed for months by the Big Three's inveterate optimism, which kept assembly plants cranking out cars as though nothing were wrong, and by Detroit's ever sweetening sales incentives. But by the end of the year's second quarter, evidence of a reversal was clearly at hand: during the first six months of 1989, total car sales in the U.S. fell 7.2% from last year's first half, to 5.1 million...
