...asks about a man who has just walked into the hotel and wants to be a delegate. Wilber instructs her to have him pay his money, sign in, and wait for some brief questioning. Convention officials make no secret of any of this. The next day, when the roll call for president reaches Maine, a debate between the state chairman and convention secretary ensues over whether Maine has paid $100 each for the number of delegates they claim...
...gunshot wounds made conventional sexual relations impossible. She tells how she once shooed the security men out of George's hospital room as he recuperated; she locked the door "and returned to the arms of my waiting husband." Afterward, "his wheelchair had a new wiggle in its roll-and I had a new bounce in my walk."

...Utopia Planitia (plains of Utopia), some 4,600 miles east-northeast and almost halfway around the planet from Viking 1 (see map). The landing gave scientists some anxious moments. Shortly after separation from its lander, the Viking 2 orbiter lost its "lock" on the star Vega and began to roll, breaking its contact with mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

A sixth of that sum went on fees to a battery of lawyers who, through 17 public hearings and three sessions of the California Supreme Court, won permission to construct the fence and defended it against suits brought by worried environmentalists, who derisively called it "a roll of toilet paper."

That's process art in action, with a coastal commission...
...punt exchanges later, the Crimson offense began to roll once more. Aided by a Columbia penalty that was tacked on to an 11-yard screen pass from Kubacki to Tommy Winn, Harvard reached the Lions' 33-yardline. Kubacki then stole a play from the 1975 game films, as he threw a bullet into the heart of the Columbia secondary that ended up in the arms of an unprotected Jim Curry. Mike Lynch's conversion made is 14-3, and Jimmy the Greek, who had made the Crimson a 17-point favorite, looked smarter every minute...
