...teams indulge in this sort of mayhem? "To bother me," Williams said simply. A defender will hold Williams to keep him from getting in to rebound, elbow around him to get at a guard about to shoot, or grab him for balance when a player cuts behind the high post. Some teams are rough for roughness' sake. "B.C. was trying to push me off the line--period," Williams said. "The ref kept saying, 'Take it easy, take it easy.' I kept saying, 'Don't take it easy, call a foul...
...clash with U.S. Navy and Air Force jets over Southeast Asia, Mao's planes would certainly be swept from the skies in a matter of days. Even the Chinese Nationalists, flying slow F-86 Sabre jets armed with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, were able to shoot down 32 Red Chinese planes during 1958's Formosa Straits dustup.

Poverty could be quite poetic, though (the shoot of a chinaberry tree has been planted hopefully in the wasteland), if it wasn't for Miss Kate, the spinster guardian who keeps threatening to have Henry sent back to prison if he don't give up that fool music. When Miss Kate dies, Henry flies into a necro-filial rage and attacks the poor soul in her very grave. That sort of thing makes a bad impression in Columbus, Texas. Soon Georgette and her daughter are alone again, smiling through their tears as the young deputy Mr. Slim...
