...lucky ones elude the creature. The others are never seen again -- alive. This is obviously not your average Ringling Bros. fool with bulbous nose and orange sideburns. When it shucks off its costume, it resembles a spider. Or a crawling eye. Or a mummy. Its breath is foul, its eyes are mere holes, and its diet consists of human entrees. Pennywise's address is the sewers of Derry, Me., but the monster is only renting there. Its permanent home is a far stranger dwelling: the mind of Stephen Edwin King...
...closest BC had come to scoring off starting goalie Don Benson was a shot that went in the net, but was disallowed when the referee--after "reviewing the reverse-angle instant replay," a fan joked--decided a foul had been committed on the play...
Summoned by the Royals this month to debut against the last dangling shards of Steve Carlton, Jackson golfed a stupendous foul ball and then beat out a spare single to start his big-league career one for one. He says, "I'm blessed and thankful to be so quick." He struck out three times the next night, but neither sensation moved him. "I'm not the kind to say, 'Hey look, Steve Carlton, a Hall of Famer.'

...political and strategic constraints placed on Eisenhower dictated the way he waged the campaign. But never before have these problems been spelled out in such day-by-day, sometimes hour-by-hour detail.

Churchill called this operation "undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever taken place," which sounds like understatement in the context of David Eisenhower's meticulous reconstruction of the event...
Theroux is onto a good thing. The idea of wilderness is central to the American imagination. Nature's nation, as a scholar once called the U.S., defines itself by the open spaces it can occupy and eventually foul. The synthetic environments of Coldharbor and the Owners' vicarious entertainments pervert the definition of nation, to say nothing of personality. Connected by computer, talking to one another through radio-helmets, Theroux's privileged few incubate fantasies and promote hideous realities. The worst is a pornography of violence practiced by a private police force known as Godseye. They roam Manhattan's abandoned neighborhoods...
