Examples of action-expressionism line his basement studio-bedroom-large black canvases slashed with color laid on with a paint roller, brush and palette knife.

Auburn-haired, athletic, with brilliant, hypnotic eyes and a prominent nose and chin, Aimee sometimes looked more like a female impersonator than a woman. She had been married twice-to Holy Roller Missionary Robert Semple, who died in China, and to U.S. Grocery Clerk Harold McPherson, whom she divorced-and had a child by each marriage.

Calmly replied Chancellor of the Exchequer Derick Heathcoat Amory: "I should remind you that the amount of net investment we have made abroad enormously exceeds any net foreign investment made in this country over...
Chuck Darby bounced a roller to the right side which was fielded by first baseman A1 Martin, but Martin's toss to Johnson covering first was wide. Darby moved to third on a sacrifice and an infield out. He scored the winning run when shortstop Mouse Kasarjian tossed the ball past Martin on a potential inning-ending grounder...
