Juliana and the baby were quickly sent for, but his wife was dismayed by Manuel's reluctant decision to follow orders and turn himself in. "Don't go," she said. "Don't even think about it.

Virtually every day for the past month, one reconnaissance platoon from the U.S. 25th Division has been taking to the countryside near the Cambodian border in a configuration highly unusual for the U.S. Army: four scouts tooling 175cc Hondas, followed by three machine-gun-mounting vehicles to provide cover.

...knuckleball-only now he is getting paid $65,000 a season for it. No tutor ever had more enraptured pupils, or ones so in need of help. The team he inherited finished dead last in the American League last year. So Williams told them to forget the past, which was easy, considering that the Senators have not won a pennant in 36 years.
