...access road. The cops stop for a minute at the end of the storage area, long enough that people have time to sit down. You're sitting in a small circle, 20 people arms around each other, singing. "Kumbayah," and "This Land is Your Land," and if there ever was a clearer picture of whistling in the dark you haven't seen it, but it helps. Too soon, the cops are coming again, but you don't get up, you just sit there. They reach the edge of the circle, and hesitate a moment, and the singing goes...
...About 20 policemen with Mace and clubs gravitate toward the protesters who are knee-deep in water and muck. They stop about 20 yards from the police, link arms, then they turn around, face their comrades on the railroad tracks, and start dancing a Rockettes kick-step. Much cheering. Ever mindful of the press, a protester shouts, "Media! Media! Photo opportunity!" The demonstrators also make sure the photographers are ready when, a few minutes later, the police grab the demonstrators, rip off their face-masks, and mace a few for effect...
...possibly one of the most contrived roles ever, Hogan's Heroes regular Larry Hovis does a suitable Dan Rather imitation as gospel-spitting Melvin P. Thorpe of Watchdog News.

Scidmore, running his best race ever as a collegiate, zipped by the co-leaders during the fourth mile. He slipped back to third again, when his legs suddenly "became leaden" and ended up 10 seconds behind the front runners...
...vulnerable man, a noble nature whose obliviousness to evil turned all his strengths-his depth of feeling, his decisiveness, his simplicity-to fatal weaknesses. The cruelly demanding role requires Otello to sing full-out the moment he walks onstage, with the famous cry of triumph, Esultate!, and scarcely ever allows him to let up thereafter. Domingo's voice was exhilaratingly equal to it all-dark and thrusting in the declamatory passages, freely soaring in the lyrical settings...
