...hour later, showered and changed into a fresh dark-blue suit and white shirt, Kennedy is on the podium in the Sheraton's grand ballroom. He has been working on his address until the last moment, and sometimes he stumbles over the notes in the margins, but he is one of the most effective stump speakers in the country, and his vigorous attack on Jimmy Carter comes through loud and clear. Though he does not mention the President by name, the words leader and leadership keep recurring, 17 times in all. This is Ted Kennedy's main theme, tonight...
...like to have first crack at." But the prospect of a Kennedy victory poses even more imponderables for Republicans. If the Democratic tide runs toward Kennedy, would the G.O.P. want to field its aging front runner, 68-year-old Ronald Reagan, against a much younger, dynamic Senator? At the moment, many party pros say no. That answer would seem to give an advantage to John Connally, 62, who is Kennedy's equal as a tub thumper.

Bertolucci obviously doesn't know since this moon appears at any given moment, even in the early afternoon. This absurd use of the moon to symbolize essentially everything and nothing gives a hint of Luna's incoherency...
...Pirates' decisive three-game streak, and in the final contest hit a single, two doubles and the towering two-run homer that guaranteed the champagne. When it was over, the slugger who has hit 464 home runs in his 18-year major league career considered his moment and deemed another day happier still. "When I signed with the Pirates in 1959," said Pops, the man who still plays ball for fun two decades later, "they gave me a $1,500 bonus and $175 a month. I was elated then...
