...fast as she could. After 20 minutes, recalls Lopiparo, she was not even a quarter of the way, so he grilled her for two hours until, in tears and near hysteria, she gave him a written confession: "I cheated. Marsha Goldwyn." She retracted next day, but it was too late. She was given a zero as a cheater and was barred from any further Regents exams, a move that effectively blocked admission to college...
...shout "Look at us! Look how outrageous we can be!" Sometimes the contents match the packaging. Every month, at least one Esquire article snipes at a sacred cow or takes some other unorthodox approach to a topic in the news. Recently, the magazine has offered "The Holy Kennedys," "The Late General MacArthur, Warts and All," "Bobby Baker Has It Made," "Two Cheers for the National Geographic," "In Defense of Cassius Clay," "The Life and Suspiciously Hard Times of Anthony Quinn," and "The American Newspaper Is Neither Record, Mirror, Journal, Ledger, Bulletin, Telegram, Examiner, Register, Chronicle, Gazette, Observer, Monitor, Transcript...

Last week the Angels were in fifth place, only six games behind the Chicago White Sox, and Manager Bill Rigney was hollering at his players in the locker room...

Thus when the seedlings emerged early in June, he reasoned, the few viruses left in the plant hoppers' salivary glands would be too sluggish to infect the corn...
...test Harpaz' findings, Israeli farmers last year planted some of their hybrid corn in early April, the rest late in May. There could be no doubt about the results. Although 45% of the plants sown in April came down with Maize Disease, only 3% of the May plants were infected. Similar tests, adjusted for local temperature variations, have also proved successful in Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Italy, where corn farmers are learning that they can reap more by sowing later...
