...count). In the end, Karpov & Co. eked out a narrow six-to-five victory in the arduous 32-game match, fending off a spectacular late comeback by Korchnoi. The games themselves were unimpressive. Karpov stuck to the cautious approach that some commentators have dubbed "the boa constrictor" style; Korchnoi, taking far more risks, repeatedly ran into time trouble by nearly failing to make the required 40 moves in the first 2½ hours of play.

If the rest of us got drunk and let the cows into the Master's garden, to eat his roses and tramp his poppies, Krueger hid for a week in the library...
Krueger's style hasn't changed during his two terms in the U.S. House. "His remarks are laced with deference toward his elders and respect for the traditions of the House," a commentator noticed. As for voting records, Krueger is a conservative. But Tower is a veritable neanderthal. In 1977, for example, the incumbent Senator voted for gas deregulation, deployment of the neutron bomb, development of nuclear breeder reactors, and multinational corporation subsidies through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. He voted against just about everything else...
