An overflow crowd of 8,000 gaped at competitors wearing aerodynamic early-Darth Vader helmets and rubberized skinsuits that were banned in international cycling until 1981.

Bald eagles, which feasted on the marsh fish that flourished during the summer flood each year, declined catastrophically; their population is currently...
...production often sorely lacking in energy, some members of the cast try valiantly to liven things up Thomas Derrah, who played a puckish Tom Sawyer in the A R T's recent production of Big River, shows his versatility in the role of Wheeler His pockets overflow with ballpoint pens, he wears trousers hiked up around his crotch, glasses and a bow tie, and he carries a golf club all of which makes him resemble an anxious pre med before an exam more than a movie producer In the second act, Derrah's creepy qualities intensity as he sprouts fangs...
