...such a system, words are weapons. In addition to the salvos of self-righteous invective being hurled at the U.S. by TASS and Pravda, whole platoons of Soviet scholars, lawyers, journalists, scientists and even a priest or two have been visiting the U.S. in recent weeks and pounding away at the party line: Relations are awful and getting worse; Reagan is to blame; throw the bum out; otherwise, who knows what disasters may ensue...
...Roman Catholic Episcopal Conference, Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega, used harsh language to describe the plight of his flock under the Marxist-led Sandinistas. Said Vega: "The tragedy of the Nicaraguan people is that we are living with a totalitarian ideology that no one wants in this country."

...Marathon, the first he had ever entered. He did. The next year he predicted he would run the fastest marathon ever in New York. Again he kept up with his words. His obsession to win almost killed him: in the summer of 1978 he received last rites from a priest when his body temperature hit 108° during the 7.1-mile Falmouth Road Race in Massachusetts; after winning the 1982 Boston Marathon, he required an IV tube as this time his body temperature plummeted to a dangerous 88°. He trained relentlessly, never taking a break from season to season...
