...Rosalita, his classic rocker about a street dude come acourting, the suitor presses his advantage by announcing that "the record company just gave me a big advance." Springsteen often sings it that way. But sometimes, he will throw his head back into the full glare of an overhead spot, grin with pride on one side of his wide smile and irony on the other, and shout out: "Your Papa says he knows that I don't have any money/ This is his last chance/ Tell him, Rosie, I ain't no freak/ 'Cause I got my picture/ On the cover...
...Reds. The LAST pitch. Zimmer stood fixed, staring stonily from the dugout, a Grand Teutonic field marshal in double-knits. Bill Lee was doing some yoga stretches in the bullpen, singing Hindu chants from the Bhagavad Gita.

Solzhenitsyn's criticism of the Soviet government and his advocacy of a return to imperial absolutism earned him expulsion from...
Publicity shy to the point of reclusiveness, the Wolfsons have been tugged into the glare of attention by their success. But they have each been in the public eye before, separately and for quite different reasons. For much of his career, Louis Wolfson was the ultimate outsider-a notorious corporate takeover artist who also went to jail for selling unregistered stock and who was involved in a curious affair that brought about the resignation of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Abe Fortas. In 1958, Wolfson bought his way into racing, then devoted his considerable energies and talents to becoming...
