...There were screams, wailing-just the rawest, most visceral sounds of pain that human voices can summon. As the screams died, Kennedy resumed, slowly, pausing frequently, measuring his words: "Martin Luther King ... dedicated his life ... to love ... and to justice between fellow human beings, and he died in the cause of that effort." There was near total silence now. One senses, listening to the tape years later, the audience's trust in the man on the podium, a man who didn't merely feel the crowd's pain but shared it. And Kennedy reciprocated: he laid himself bare for them...
...about a middle-aged man named Richard Novak who, having made a bundle and retired early, and having split from his wife and son, is now living in a state of isolation and emotional shutdown in a fancy house in Los Angeles. One day Richard suffers an intense, mysterious pain and is rushed to a hospital. The doctors find nothing, but he's sufficiently shaken to conduct a review of his life and how he's living it: "He couldn't cover everything up anymore, he needed to feel everything...
...Years before, Dr. Stinchfield had fallen off a horse, and over time his back injury and complications from surgeries left him in constant pain, barely able to get out of bed.

Breathing pretty hard, Dr. Stinchfield finally leaned on a parking meter near the old hospital, and catching his breath, he declared, "Well I'll tell you one thing, boy, it's not about taking care of sick people". We didn't know which particular...
...steals lead the league—will be conspicuously absent from the outfield. Vance stayed home yesterday to visit with doctors about what appeared to be a torn labrum, the principal muscle of the throwing shoulder. Until Sunday’s game against Cornell, he had been playing through pain in centerfield. Vance denied that he would opt for surgery this early in the season, saying he planned to resume his normal place in the lineup for the rest of the season, probably at DH. Departed slugger Zak Farkes ’06-’07 battled a similar...
