...idle splash and smell of a heavy rain" or scenting on some passing breeze "the salt air in the churches of Venice." But guilt and remorse close in like sudden fog, a free-floating guilt that seems to swirl around some atavistic memory of the Good Life. Thus an errant wife who has drunk and danced through the night is startled by the birds of dawning: "The pristine light and the loud singing reminded her of some ideal-some simple way of life, in which she dried her hands on an apron and Will came home from the sea-that...

The Junior Chamber of Commerce met him at Union Station; he was taken on a tour of Boys Town, paid his respects to the archbishop, visited a convent for errant girls, and was named Chief Charging Buffalo by the Omaha Indians.

...game was well in hand by the end of the first half, when the Crimson led, 7 to 1. Dick Parks opened the scoring at 1:50 of the first period with a hard, low shot that escaped the goalie.
