...pray for the misguided soul heading toward the ballot boxes in the crowded Ames, Iowa, arena. But when their candidate finally strode onto the podium with the beaming countenance of a man blessed with faith in the righteousness of his path, the campaign workers leaped off their feet in joy. Leaning forward with the mild-mannered charm of a televangelist talking to a camera, yet drawing on the rhythmic cadences of a polished preacher, the Rev. Pat Robertson delivered an ecumenical version of the message that has attracted such a fervent cadre of crusaders to his Republican presidential campaign. "Whether...
...greeted Gaddafi's latest setbacks with unconcealed glee. "We basically jump for joy every time the Chadians ding the Libyans," said a U.S. official.

It leavens the cosmic sentimentality of Another Part of Me well enough -- if E.T. had come to earth as a crooner, this would have been his My Way -- but does so with bile and fear...
...patrol in Spads and Sopwith Pups, cruising in perfect formation, hats raised over their heads in exuberance and defiance of common sense, steering by the seats of their pants and the exquisite balance God gave such young animals. They would take the stretch of rippled pavement with whoops of joy, as if they were World War I aces plunging through the cumulus clouds over St.-Mihiel, round the corner with hardly a glance down, whish by Ord Martin's garage and then bank left for the dive downhill on the Red Baron's Flying Circus...
