Sophomore year brought with it discouragement and disappointment. Paulovich failed to make a varsity boat, but his endless effort and determination garnered him the "official spare" designation on the varsity roster. Mike was supposed to be the man waiting in the wings to take over for rowers who succumbed to the sundry ailments that plague their lot. And sure enough, just as fast as you can say 'crab,' the injury devil wreaked its havoc on the lights...
...interrupted me to object, and burst into an attack as though I was against him rather than being on his side. The vituperation poured forth in all directions, almost as if a volcano had erupted in his chest. God knows I had no other end in view but to spare Egypt the consequences of an internal conflict between the rulers of the land that was becoming increasingly intensified. It was this that made the July Revolution, for all its achievements, steer Egypt on a disastrous course culminating in the 1967 defeat [in the Six-Day War with Israel] which very...

They had to go right down a steep embankment, which went underneath the bridge at about a 60-degree slope. None of them got hurt...
...cross the Atlantic in the late 1970s. To name only two: the unforgettable series of shots capturing the varied expressions of a village's collective lust, from a young boy sodomizing a mule to the rusty sex rites of an aged couple; or the scenes showing how far the "spare the rod" philosophy of rearing is literally taken by the father of the future writer Gavio Ledda (Saverio Marconi). Mario Masini's cinematography especially shines in filming the lush greens and radiant ambers of a sunlit Sardinian landscape. But most importantly, few movies have ever probed the bitter relationship...
