In that old-fashioned 12-story building, he shared a room and nine months of recuperation with Jim Crotty, a Marine pilot badly burned in an accident. "What he saw when he arrived at the hospital was room after room of people maimed like you wouldn't believe," Crotty said. "He looked at the whole thing and said, 'Jesus Christ, what...
...several non-UC members to play alongside the much-ridiculed, wannabe politicos, the Council made the Bad News Bears look like a world-class sports team.

Grand musical numbers and sumptuous period costumes give director Baz Luhrman an excuse to work his intensely visual style...
Successors? There are a number of ex-FBI executives whose names are likely to be mentioned - Jim Kallstrom, formerly assistant director in New York, Buck Revell, formerly executive assistant director, now in Dallas. Bush might use the moment to name the first black or Hispanic FBI director. And of course there are literally thousands of Republican ex-Justice Department officials who have been toiling in the party vineyards. If Bush doesn't go for diversity, Bob Mueller, the US Attorney in San Francisco and acting Deputy Attorney General, would be a great pick as far as many career prosecutors...
