...meet should have a special flavor because the leading runner on Harvard's cross country team last year, Anne Sullivan, now competes for the Bruins...
Ever since its first meeting, attended by Tito, Indonesia's Sukarno, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, at Belgrade in 1961, the so-called nonaligned movement has usually espoused a form of neutrality with a distinctly leftist flavor. The rhetoric has sputtered with buzz words like "anticolonialist" and "progressive."

Although a hundred other publications may cover an event, Thompson's "goddamn gibberish" will give it a flavor and texture that wouldn't otherwise get into print. Reading Thompson and no one else won't give readers a "full understanding" of what goes on during a Presidential election, a Super Bowl or a Chicano uprising in L.A.

The Great Shark Hunt ensures that the "bad craziness" that...
