...editors who thought tighter enforcement of editing standards was "urgently needed" was Michael J. O'Neill of the New York Daily News. O'Neill then had to get rid of one of his flashiest young columnists, Michael Daly. Like Janet Cooke of the Post, with her nonexistent eight-year-old dope addict, Daly lengthily quoted by name an English soldier in Belfast who turned out not to exist. The point should be well made by now: it may sometimes be necessary to use a fictitious name to protect an endangered source, but the source should be real...
This series, by contrast, is perfect for mass consumption. The Rangers will try to shut down Bossy and Trottier with close checking, a skill underestimated by the Battle-of-the-Network-Stars generation. And Bossy himself, along with Gretzky, the league's flashiest scorer, can capture the attention of the most jaded, expansion-soaked...
Slowly, patiently, Vermeil put his team together. Quarterback Ron Jaworski was acquired from the Rams for his strong arm. Running Back Wilbert Montgomery, passed over until the sixth round because of calcium deposits in a thigh, ha emerged as one of the league's flashiest runners.

...Bulldogs' remarkable seesaw began with preseason events both ridiculous and sublime. Dooley nearly lost six players because of disciplinary infractions. But he gained one player who has, almost singlehanded, put the Georgians on top once again: Herschel Walker, one of the flashiest running backs in the history of college football. The best news is that Walker is only a freshman...
...Phil Daniels, star of last year's Quad-rophenia, plays the little manager who gets squeezed out by the big label but retains his integrity. Breaking Glass gets the dynamic concert finish, with electric costumes and tight-tuned music (penned by O'Connor), but it is unfortunate that the flashiest, most appealing part of the picture comes at the narrative moment of the heroine's greatest moral and psychological decline, casting doubt on the purpose and impact of primal rock's message. The movie also charts the rise and fall of the original punk movement, if one allows some metaphorical...
