...himself by making sketches for popular engravings, blossomed into genius in the last decade of his life, and died in 1569, before his 45th birthday. He left a wife and two sons. He was self-possessed, a habitual stroller and something of a practical joker; that about completes the record. Brueghel doubtless kept off the center of the stage on purpose: one sees better from the wings...
Third Game. For the opener in Los Angeles, a record World Series crowd of 92,294 began filling the parking lots that sprawl outside the Coliseum as early as 1 a.m. Dodger Pitcher Don Drysdale had control trouble, but Catcher Roseboro saved him by gunning out three of the touted Chicago speed boys (Rivera, Aparicio, Fox) on attempted steals of second.

Unfortunately, Capote writes in a style that combines the worst features of Henry James, Dorothy Kilgallen, and deb talk (says he of Marilyn Monroe: "Just a slob really: an untidy divinity-in the sense that a banana...
Intentionally or not, Biographer Big-land has written an expose of advanced thought in Shelley's England. In the Movement, her record shows more finance than romance and proves again that those who set out to rid society of hypocrisy usually have plenty of their own in case they succeed...
