...Mayday." Dropping through the cloud layer to 100 ft., West-enbarger saw an oncoming 30-ft. junk spitting machine-gun bullets just short of Huggins. "Dunk that junk," he ordered four fighters circling overhead. As they complied, Westenbarger splashed down near Huggins, taxied between him and the pistol-packing swimmers, pulled the downed aviator aboard while the HU-16's flight mechanic blazed away at the bobbing heads with an M-16 automatic rifle. Huggins needed only a minute to regain his breath, then grabbed a rifle himself. "Come on," he said with understandable vengeance, "let me do some...
...undoubtedly offers more range. Kid also has a less compelling subplot. Away from the table, McQueen gambles on a blonde (Tuesday Weld) and on the integrity of his dealer pal, Karl Maiden. Pressure comes from a conventionally vicious Southern gentleman (Rip Torn), whose pleasures include a Negro mistress, a pistol range adjacent to his parlor, and fixed card games. As Maiden's wife, Ann-Margret spells trouble of another kind, though her naive impersonation of a wicked, wicked woman recalls the era when the femme fatale wore breastplates lashed together with spider web.

...university, Moyers would rise at 5 a.m., work three hours at the TV station, return for breakfast, then go off to classes. He preached on alternate Sundays at two small Baptist churches nearby.

Another time, he labored over a commercial extolling the virtues of a local establishment called Hattie's, knowing well...
...shot." Morrisroe, Crocker said, "made a break like he was going for the door.". Crocker solemnly avowed that in Daniels' right hand "there was a bright, shiny object that resembled a knife," while Father Morrisroe had something in his right hand that he "took to be a pistol. I saw a round object like a gun barrel." Two defense witnesses, a county construction employee and a stockyard worker, added that they later saw two Negroes leaning over the bleeding bodies "pickin' up a knife" and "sumpin' . . . looked like a pistol"-neatly explaining why no weapons were found...
...bounds of credibility (though critics might note that there is a lot of coincidence in life, too, and that its absence in a story can be more unrealistic than its presence). Typical is the moment in Verdi's La Forza del Destino, when Don Alvaro throws his pistol to the floor to show that he is above dueling with his sweetheart's father, the gun goes off and fires a bullet right through Pop's heart. Mistaken identity is rife; a girl who has spent the night with a man usually fails to recognize him next...
