Navy retaliated with their sole tally of the game in the fifth inning. Ronald Lovelace walked, stole second base, and sprinted home on a single by George Iams. From then on there was nothing but zeros on the scoreboard for the remainder of the game...
Chandler has a point. Despite its flaws, the Times is one of the nation's most serious, best-reported dailies, and San Diegans could do worse for a new newspaper. But Chandler's urge to spread enlightenment is hardly the sole motive for marching southward. Times circulation dropped below the 1 million level last year, triggering alarms all over the block-long, dark brown granite and smoked-glass building where the $1.1 billion Times Mirror empire is headquartered. What is more, much of the paper's largely white, middle-class readership is apparently leaving town...
...courtroom procedure is profound. The judge is missing-that judge who forbids misleading tactics, freely admonishes both sides, determines which evidence is valid and finally instructs the jury on how it should weigh what it has heard. In the news-gathering process, the press is both prosecutor and sole judge of its own activities-answerable in advance of publication to no one (though it can be sued once the story is out), free to select or disregard evidence as it pleases, free to omit counterclaims, to minimize rebuttals. Such absence of prior restraint is essential to a free press...
...that one little crack of humanity in which to insert his fingers, opening the character up. Scottie's business partner, for example, is a huggable, Jewish, Lou Jacobi-type (warmly played by A.

The sole function of this fellow is usually to mouth exposition and provide comic relief (kvetch, kvetch, kvetch). But in the second act, out of nowhere, he explains to Jud why he acts so paternal towards Scottie, even though they're the same age. He mentions, and not at great length...
...lighter and was released closer to the French shore than that from the Torrey Canyon, which blackened the English coast a decade ago, it had spread faster and penetrated deeper into Brittany's many inlets and estuaries. Even farther out to sea many food fish, except possibly sole, which stay near the bottom, will be contaminated. The season's take of crabs, including green crabs used for bouillabaisse, may be wiped out. In addition, ornithologists noted, an archipelago called the Seven Islands, France's largest marine bird sanctuary, is surrounded...
