...script the scene took a few lines and a gallon or two of purple ink. The helicopter slams into the rock "with a grinding scream, the blades crumple back like spaghetti, still twisting in a slow-motion convulsion of shrieking metal. Like a great dying bird, it seems to keel over in a last agony, twisting downward in a wrenching, moaning death. Whoomp...
Some GRECE members also showed an unsettling predilection for neofascist ritual, beginning their closed meetings with the salute "Soleil, race!" (Sun, race!) and writing letters to one another in brown ink. In 1974 GRECE Member Yvan Blot, together with fellow students at the École Nationale d'Administration, formed the Club de l'Horloge (Clock Club), a lobby group that promotes many of the same issues...
Munson begrudged the ink and air time given to players he considered less talented, especially Boston Red Sox Catcher Carlton Fisk, who stole the spotlight from him with an outstanding rookie season in 1972.

Musica Sacra began precariously in 1964 as an outgrowth of concerts Westenburg organized as choirmaster of Manhattan's Central Presbyterian Church. Encouraged because the decision to charge admission had doubled audiences, the group incorporated as an independent entity in 1973 and progressed rapidly toward bankruptcy. The trouble was that Westenburg tried to do everything himself: collect texts, read program proofs, deliver checks to the musicians' union. Finally, with help from the New York State Council on the Arts, he hired an administrator, assembled a board of trustees...
