When Governor Ojukwu returned to his capital of Enugu, he climbed into a car and rode triumphantly through the streets-principally to show the skeptical Ibos that he had not been murdered.

That catty note may well have been the inspiration of Mrs. Mao, who likes to go by her screen name of Chiang Ching, which she acquired as a grade...
...Demment intercepted a pass, rode off a defenseman, and flipped the puck off the bottom of the crossbar. Three minutes later Jack Garrity swatted in a knee-high rebound of a shot by Murphy, and the crowd rose in derision of "Birdman," as the goalie had been affectionately dubbed...
