...After To Die For, he sent me a lovely telegram, and to get that kind of encouragement early on in your career gives you much more confidence to do things that are unusual or a little bold or offbeat. The thing about Sean is that he has an incredibly generous spirit in terms of other people's work, particularly actors...
...total investment, and the venture loses $700,000, he will be able to write off $70,000 but will be liable for only $10,000. The study revealed that such losses on limited partnerships (about half of them in the real estate and oil industries, both areas that receive generous tax breaks) exceeded or offset the entire incomes of the 1,900 high earners who paid no taxes...
Even the Senate, which has been more generous than the House to the military, had chopped three systems from its bill on the reasonable ground that they did not rate high priority at a time of limited available funds. They were the 9-mm Beretta handgun, which is a replacement for the venerable Colt .45; the Navy's SH-2F submarine-hunting helicopter; and the Army's field artillery support vehicle.

He was not much on irony; that his base-stealing records were surpassed by three black men, Wills, Lou Brock and Rickey Henderson, would not have amused him.

Most of the jailed Royals and confessed Cardinals have been dispersed, but the third game opened pointedly with Immunized Witness Lonnie Smith in the batter's box facing his former teammate, Joaquin Andujar, whose name Smith was generous enough to mention on a witness stand in early September. Maybe it is just a coincidence that Andujar won his 20th game on Aug. 23, and from that day lost eight of nine, including the third game of the World Series. If anyone expected Andujar to throw at Smith...
