...late surge was inconsequential, with Hartwick icing the match on a goal in the opening minutes of the final stanza. Capitalizing again on a quick conter, Long--flanked by Brown and Pat Craikshank--came downfield opposed only by Crimson sweeper Frnak Ricapito. The senior defender succeeded in directing Long to one side of the field, but the Wick captain dumped the ball off to Brown with his left foot and the forward converted on a 17-yard drive...
...Blue Grass Opera a few years back, and it seems to apply to almost all of them. It's about people leaving home and heading north (How did Bobby Bare sing it?

It was finally Agent Valestra who, posing as a drug financier, helped set up the arrest of De Lorean...

But competitors were quick to copy the Rabbit's front-wheel design and efficient use of interior space. Today's car buyers can choose from a number of similar-looking makes, including the Mazda GLC, which sells for $5,295,'and Chrysler's $5,840 Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni. Those base prices are well below the $6,290 for the standard...
