...watch football than I did in high school. Sunday afternoons were usually devoted to popcorn and the Patriots. Now, they're earmarked, more often than not, for sleep or the contemplation (but never completion) of my homework assignments. I have learned to bookmark the ESPN SportsZone Web Page and "reload" every 20 minutes during the game to find out the latest score. Dinner-table boasting or teeth-gnashing has replaced reading the Globe's sports section from cover to cover. Harvard makes much of what is going on in "the real world" seem peripheral, but following sports...
...other reason why Crichton discovered The Lost World is that he needed something to do while gestating his next project. This unborn novel, he says, will deal with the media, big legal trials, Menendez-like crimes, something along those lines. "Shoot mom and reload and keep shooting. Is that O.K.?

They will not reload the 5-MW reactor with new fuel rods. And they will allow international inspectors to remain on duty to verify those promises. "This does not solve the problem," Clinton said, "but it certainly gives us the basis for seeking a solution." To pursue it, the two sides will sit down...
...when he ran out of bullets and had to reload his 9-mm semiautomatic Ruger for a second time, the passengers saw their chance. Two men huddled in the doorway looked at each other, looked at the killer and said, "Let's get him." A third joined in as they sprinted down the aisle, lunged forward and pinned Ferguson back against a seat, then ripped the gun away. By the time the death train pulled into the station at Garden City, Long Island, passengers were caring for one another, turning neckties into tourniquets. The killer was subdued...
