After that, I drove over the railroad tracks to see what was left of the ball park. It was still there, all right, in the shadow of The World's Largest Peanut Sheller, but now it lay like an abandoned farm. The light poles had been moved around for football lighting, and the sandy gray soil had been harrowed and was awaiting fresh sod for the high school football season. Letters saying "Graceville Oilers Booster Club" had almost faded away on the concrete-block centerfield fence. The portable bleachers in left field had begun to rot beyond salvation. Gone were...

...Charge of the Light Brigade--A movie which argues that mid-Victorian England was a pretty inhuman place, revealing that quality most clearly in its incredibly stupid wars. Not as exciting as the book (Cecil Woodham-Smith's The Reason Why), but for those who like their wars with lots of gory realism and facile satire, may make enjoyable viewing.
