...cynical about these deals). Doug Griffin, the regular second baseman, gets injured constantly, but is a fine infielder as well. At third base, well, the less said about Rico Petrocelli the better, although some think differently. Everyone has their love-to-hate choice on the Red Sox, I guess. One might mention that he was recently sued by a stewardess for alleged in flight misconduct but was acquitted. Which sounds like a nasty thing to reveal, but again, one begins to love-to-hate...
...before the U.S. got into the war: unlike most films of the early forties, and particularly those that Hollywood churned out when we were fighting in it (which are lulling and sentimental and silly), this comedy is sharp and wicked as can be. That's Lubitach, I guess. The scene is the German occupation of Warsaw, where Benny and friends outwit the Nazis. The humor is often best because it comes so dangerously close to bad taste-people got mad at it when it came out because of the subject matter, but it's nowhere near as vulgar...

When she's warned on her first husband's deathbed to remember that "Life goes on," she barely breathes between the moan, "I guess you're right!" and the quip. "Where do we eat?" Keaton pounces on that line like a hungry cat on a tin of smelly mackerel and in this case the bad timing is the joke...
...mythic fascination is that despite ever-growing attention by marine scientists, there is precious little reliable information about sharks. It is not even known how many varieties of sharks there are (best estimate: around 300) or how many of them must be regarded as definitely lethal to man (best guess: about a dozen, with the great white and the tiger leading most lists). It is almost impossible to make wide-ranging behavioral generalizations from the way the creatures act in captivity and even more difficult to study them in their natural habitat. Science therefore knows more about the natural history...
...admiring the windshield wipers. "Well," the game's organizer said finally, "if it keeps raining for another half hour or so, and the other guys don't show up, and nobody turns the field lights on--why didn't somebody remind me to bring a tarp?--then I guess some of you probably won't want to play?" It was still pouring when we got back to Cambridge...
