...habit of Shigeru Miyoshi, 41, a foundry foreman, and Saburo Goto, 44, a druggist, to go fishing on Sundays. On this particular Sunday the catch was good-a basket of squirming silver carp-and Goto suggested a drink to celebrate. Reluctantly, Miyoshi declined. He was due on the foundry night shift. The two parted, never to see each other again. At 8:15 the next morning, Aug. 6, 1945, the atomic bomb exploded 1,870 ft. over Hiroshima...
...drugs as dramatically as Jeremy did, he cautions, but most of them do so much better than before that he keeps them on Ritalin or an equivalent drug throughout the school year.

An ebullient native of the Harlem district that he will represent-unless Powell makes good a threat to run as an independent and succeeds-Rangel is a high school dropout who eventually earned a law degree. When he quit school in 1948, he joined...
...East Side where half the people on the street are just leaning against some boarded-up store front, expressionless, shooting heroin into their arm through a dirty needle.
