...reception was held on the second floor of the Pound Building in a spacious room covered by a plush, orange wall-to-wall carpet. Bowls of pretzels, potato chips and shrimp lined every table. Directly in front of the door was a make-shift bar manned by two students who graciously mixed drinks for all comers. The majority of Law School students sat together in small circles, sipping gin and tonics and delicately chewing shrimp. In the corner of the room, just behind the bar, stood the New Crusader, surrounded by two of his attorneys, several reporters and a couple...
...trying to land at night in heavy rain at Sheremetyevo Airport, 18 miles northwest of Moscow, and by some accounts was making its fourth pass at the runway. Villagers in the nearby hamlet of Krasnaya Polyana (Red Glade) suddenly heard a series of explosions. Tramping by torchlight across muddy potato fields, they found the red and silver tail of the Aeroflot Ilyushin-62 sticking out of a cold brown pond. Beneath the water, or on the fields across which the plane had skidded, were the bodies of all the passengers and crew. Unofficial reports indicated that they numbered 176, which...
...implication, in the fleshy rub and friction of one biomorphic shape against another.

...involved is called Gibbs & Wilson, and at G. & W. creativity is king, writers venerated, research unheard of. The hero is Copy Chief Jim Bower, a dour, taciturn fellow known throughout the trade for lines like (to sell a brand of vodka): "Tell your mother-in-law it's potato soup-she'll love it." When Jim sits down to do an ad, he has nothing in front of him but a piece of paper; if he feels inspired to write a commercial about stewardesses for an airline, what is it to him if stewardesses happen to rank last...
Sameness was not an enemy in convention hall. Gilbert Carmichael, who sells Volkswagens in Meridian, Miss., bakes a potato and fries a steak out in the backyard under a big old magnolia tree most Saturday nights "just like everybody else," and Alvin Berg, from McClusky, N. Dak., an undertaker, reads the daily newspapers (no books) and uses his spare time to pursue the walleyed pike in Brush Lake just like so many of his neighbors...
