...Denunzio's road to All-American honors began with a first round defeat of Rider's Derek Jenkins 8-2. DeNunzio then fell to No. 10 seed Tony Deanda of Nebraska, 5-3, but quickly regrouped, going on to win five straight victories in the wrestlebacks--which included wins against the No. 12, 8, 5, and 2 seeds of the tournament...
...hitter, it marked the outer limits of a place where potential homers went to die. No right-handed Yankee hit nearly as many home runs as DiMaggio until the fences were moved in, years after he retired. Had he hit as many at home as he did on the road, he would've had 426 home runs--for a per-season average nearly identical to Aaron...
...West Side Highway is the road that runs along the Hudson River--or, really, stumbles along the Hudson River--on the western edge of Manhattan. By chance, it once gave me a strong intimation of mortality. In 1973 portions of the highway collapsed, triggering years of arguments about replacing it with a gargantuan project called Westway and then more years of constant construction whose purpose has never been apparent.

...name on the IRS building where taxpayers are instructed to show up, in possession of all financial records and receipts for the previous 14 years, to talk about their audits. This may be the reason that until last week I never heard anyone mention the official name of the road (or at least half of it, from 72nd Street down): the Miller Elevated Highway. Even New Yorkers will cut a guy some slack sooner or later, and I like to think that they've never used the real name because they've been thinking, "O.K. Joyce Kilmer's poetry might...
...role in a decade. Charlotte, a coddled housewife taken hostage by Jake, a punk bank robber, is a dream part, with the sort of sly comedic opportunities Sarandon hasn't had since Bull Durham. On the lam, Charlotte and Jake (a sweetly bumbling Stephen Dorff) are soon on the road to self-discovery. If their inner journey becomes too predictable (she loosens up; he starts to pull himself together; they sort of fall for each other), never mind. Sarandon and Dorff are a sexy, odd pair, and you almost hope they buck common sense and set up house...
