Such an operation, we soon learn, can be messy. In one case, a drug smuggler puts cocaine in a red balloon and flushes it down a toilet. At the end of the plumbing pipe sit two Santana lieutenants, who dutifully pick through excrement to retrieve the contraband...
...Wallace, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Southern New Jersey, and the suburbs provide the tax base: "Each without the other simply could not get along." But the argument that this is a fair trade is offensive to the people of south Camden whose neighborhood reeks of human excrement.

In addition to tying the match, 1-1, the loss jeopardizes deLone and Henikoff's front-running position for an NCAA tournament doubles berth. The two seniors (23-9 overall) had seemingly clinched a berth--which is chosen by an NCAA committee--after defeating Boston College's Jennifer Lane and Pam Piorkowski and Princeton's Aila Winkler and Lauren Fortgang, their main competition for the spot...

Stuffed 10 or 12 to a cage on the truck to the processing plant, they eat one another's germ-laden excrement and spread it on their feathers and skin.

...mute. To keep myself from panicking, I imagined that I wasn't in an interview with 10 Harvard students smug in their knowledge that they knew so much more than me. I pretended I was a bird, soaring well overhead, flying free and fast and far and aiming my excrement right on the tops of their heads...
