...given him little experience in close political combat. Thus White's hope to win in November is mainly a matter of arithmetic. If he collects the major share of the votes that went to the eight also-rans in the primary and gets solid Negro backing, the Hicks' primary plurality of 12,933 out of a total vote of 155,000 would evaporate...
When it enters the target, the flechette is stripped of an ablative coating that has protected the uranium from the 1000° F. temperature generated by air friction (solid uranium will ignite at 338° F.) As the bare depleted uranium comes in contact with steel, an exothermic, or heat-producing, effect occurs when the metals react chemically. This instantaneous heating, combined with the searing heat of impact, raises the temperature of the surrounding steel to such a degree that the flechette literally melts its way through, leaving a hole many times its own diameter...

He and his predecessor, Mike Higgins, had a vision of the sort of club they wanted to build. A young, enthusiastic team, with powerful hitting, speed, hustle, solid defense, intelligence and a winning attitude. In the process of building it, the Red Sox management looked like a bunch of idiots...

First Robertson, cutting in from his left wing post, took a solid pass from the little Colombian, and drilled it into the nets. Then, reversing the roles, Vargas scored off an assist from Robertson, and Harvard left the field at halftime, proudly holding a 3-0 lead...

In any case, they polluted the field with our worst qualities, our inane curiosity and opportunism. They messed about Yastrzemski as if to pull him down. Solid, neatly divided in two equal parts by his black belt, loosening up with grace and some levity, the Great God Yaz seemed impentrable in his excellence. The Press could not touch...
