Freshman Danny Tanner is the odds-on favorite to slide into Butler’s position after seeing time in eight contests last year, including starts when Sonkur and Butler were hobbled by injury in the second-half of the season, but sophomore Keith Howell and freshman Raffael DeLuca drew mention from Murphy as possible candidates to watch...
...taken somewhere else and killed. Brill believes that Hoffa's body was later completely destroyed in a large trash shredder, compactor or incinerator-or some combination of all three-at Central Sanitation Services in nearby Hamtramck, Mich. The refuse-disposal company is owned by two Detroit crime figures, Raffael Quasarano and Peter Vitale...
...Interior approached some 45 artists with the suggestion that they go on location throughout America and paint what they saw, provided that what they looked at fell under the department's jurisdiction: mountains and swamps, plains, beaches, dams, railroads, national parks, sawmills, highways. California's Joseph Raffael went to Hawaii and came back with large paintings of water lilies; New York City's best painter of cityscape, John Button, stood at the foot of the Shasta Dam and rendered its spillway with a blue geometrical clarity; Richard Estes produced a view taken near Philadelphia's Independence...

But the real life of these paintings comes from Raffael's ability to take a slice of river and, by giving it absolute presence, turn it into the stuff of contemplation. The Water Paintings are lyrical considerations of time and mutability, as well as matter. "You cannot," Heraclitus remarked, "step into the same river twice"-an observation that a later Greek sophist neatly amended: "You cannot step...
