...while good defensive play can sometimes inspire a team, nothing lets it down faster than a score on a goalie's mistake. It's hard also for a goalie to jump up after a goal with the 'C'mon guys let's get it back' spirit a captain should supply...
...forecast to the background refrains of electronic wind and rain, which comes in three intensities, drying up, drizzle and drench.

Though Picasso had never been to Chicago-or, for that matter, to the U.S.-he delightedly recognized pictures of Carl Sandburg and Ernest Hemingway. "Mon ami Hemingway," he exclaimed, then explained that he had taught the novelist all about bullfighting.
