...suction, and use of a saline-solution--correspond to slicing, crushing, and burning the fetus to death. The saline solution, usually used after the twelfth week, is comparable to napalm in its effect on fetal skin tissue (and on the fetus' internal tissues, because the fetus drinks the amniotic fluid). Almost all abortions occur after the sixth week of pregnancy. Electroencepholographs reveal a fetal brainwave pattern at 42 days, and this date probably represents the current limit of EEG technology, not the beginning of brain activity...
Mcllroy suffered mightily over the years to satisfy his addiction. He was subjected to thousands of X rays and blood tests, his abdomen was crisscrossed with scars where doctors made incisions during exploratory operations. His spine was punctured 48 times to get spinal fluid in order to check for evidence of cranial hemorrhaging or spinal disorders. "How much Mr. Mcllroy cost the health services," the doctors wrote, "will remain a matter for conjecture. The sum must run into six, possibly seven figures...
Lynn has always been a solid hitter, and his classic, fluid swing stirs memories of Ted Williams. What is different about Lynn this year is that he has become a long-ball hitter. Though he won Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors in 1975, the first man ever to accomplish that in the majors, Lynn had never hit more than 22 home runs until this season.

...basketball team was an artistic success but a Scoreboard failure, finishing fifth. Hastily recruited from the second tier of amateur players-most of the best played instead in the Pan American Games-the youthful Americans were unschooled in international rules and woefully short on muscle and experience. Nevertheless, their fluid fakes and brilliant improvisations drew large crowds, even to their practice sessions. A bravura moment came when Herb Williams, 21, a forward from Ohio State, slammed home a fearsome dunk against Yugoslavia and shattered the backboard in the process. After a moment of startled silence, the Soviet crowd roared with...
...court's uncertain course depends largely on how five moderate Justices-Potter Stewart, John Paul Stevens, Byron White, Blackmun and Powell -cast their votes. They are known as the "fluid five" or the "floating center." Explains University of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone: "The Justices in the middle are not 'principle' Justices, which is not to say they are unprincipled -just unpredictable." The only real ideologues on the high bench are Rehnquist on the right and William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall on the left. Brennan, often a dissenter in the past, found himself in the majority...
