Webber threw the ball high to Campbell along the left sideline well past the first down marker. As Campbell leapt into the air to catch the ball, Murphy and Fried came barreling into him, and the players fell down in a heap out of bounds. The referees decided that Campbell's momentum would have pulled him out-of-bounds regardless, so the pass was ruled incomplete, and the Brown drive was over. But Murphy, for his self-sacrifice, was left sprawled on the sideline with a concussion...
...that he's back at the top of the heap, Perahia has started playing Bach's Goldberg Variations, the work that made Glenn Gould an overnight star back in 1955. A series of European tryout performances last season received rapturous reviews, suggesting that this massive masterpiece is as well suited to Perahia's exquisitely detailed lyricism as it was to Gould's probing, mercurial style.

(Did they leave anything out?) He took up several minutes of network prime time being filmed walking...
...shows for Nickelodeon. One night Ellerbee was trying to get the attention of her two children, who were glued to the TV. In desperation, she yanked the set out of the wall and tossed it out a second-story window. Hours later she guiltily found it lying in a heap on the lawn. She brought it inside and plugged it in. To her horror, it still worked. "Damn!" she said. "You can't even kill the sucker...
