...bunch of jovial paramilitaries enjoying their booty, laughing, sprawled on couches, seems lifted from Hogarth in its formal arrangement of bodies. Other, subtler uses of imagery seem at play too. One panel has the na?ve Sacco reaching for his wallet as the waitress' round serving tray forms a halo around his head. Sacco's panels in "The Fixer" will reveal more each time you examine them...
There are currently no definite plans for how the renovations will proceed, and the input of students and donors are essential to inform such blueprints. When increasing capacity and making field improvements, the University of Michigan also placed a yellow halo around its stadium with quotes from its fight song—an adornment that drew the ire of alumni donors and students alike.

One garners plenty of saintly patience traveling on Indian buses; a few hard drags on a Marlboro Light would be even better...
...father-and-son team were going to die for a dying regime. "They were real members of the party, so they fought to the end," said Talat Haias, a city resident, many hours later as he stood over Ahmed's body, sprawled as though crucified in a blood-pooled halo on a suburban street. The two had taken up positions near the Baath Party center in Kirkuk's Huria district last Thursday and had fired at people passing by. Eventually separated, the duo hung on for about four hours before teams of Kurdish peshmerga (those who face death) shot them...
