...Bears' first touchdown was the fans' best moment, albeit the Cowboys' worst. After a pass from Quarterback Danny White, Wide Receiver Tony Hill weaved 7 yds. with the ball, only to fumble. Chicago Safety Dave Duerson picked up the loose ball and ran 48 yds. for a touchdown. Typical of a - preseason exhibition after just two weeks of practice, there were waves of substitutions and a flood of mistakes. The Cowboys fumbled four times and were intercepted once. But the fumbles bothered less than the long pauses for huddles and time-outs. Accustomed to their weekly compressed broadcast...
Such excess, suggests Serpell, leads to the still prevalent view that demonstrative affection for animals is peculiar, if not unnatural. In 16th century Europe, women who talked to animals ran the risk of being incinerated for witchcraft. Today the ardent pet enthusiast is suspected of being a closet misanthrope. Not necessarily. The author's reading of available data tends to a more positive interpretation: "a vague suggestion that some pet-owners, for reasons which are unclear, may have a greater desire for company and friendship and because of this use their pets to augment what they already derive from...

Meanwhile, on their joyride, the couple's unlikely chaperone was a gift from the royal family, a four-foot-tall teddy bear.

Rutledge's proposal would attempt to guard against this by requiring tests to ensure that people who accept the needles are in fact hooked on drugs and not simply casual experimenters...
Mindful of his father's injunction that "great wealth is an obligation," Harriman became a Democrat in 1928. In 1952 and 1956, he ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination, in part because he could think of no one more qualified to head the nation in an international age. A wooden speaker, he was elected Governor of New York in 1954, but failed to win a second term when he was challenged by Republican Nelson Rockefeller, a millionaire with a more common touch...
