Like every other village they had raided that day, the place had been hastily abandoned. Only later, as the platoon moved on across the veldt, was there any firing at all. Toward sundown, Garros spotted a gazelle. "Get her, adjudant! Get her!" he shouted. The huge, tattooed second-in-command stood up in the truck behind and dropped the graceful animal with a single shot at 400 meters...
Sometime after sundown on Friday, we stopped at this place just off Delaware's John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway. As far as roadside rest areas go, it wasn't any Howard Johnson's. Lacking the proper blandness, the place was creatively ugly. Most of it consisted of nothing but a central lobby, plastic glassy skylights, and a semi-cubistic chandelier. All in all, little more than a retarded version of Miami Beach. Except that off to one side of the lobby, roped off with velvet covered ropes, was a plaster bust of JFK painted to look bronze...

At dusk, as he watched a deer 100 yards off through his binoculars, a red squirrel barked behind him. Turning, Fred looked straight into the eyes of the big buck standing 20 yards away.

But it is definitely a ritual among black people to sit down with their families and eat, and for children there are even punishments for being...
...like Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Burgess Meredith, Peter Lawford and even Groucho Marx make fools of themselves; and 3) just to believe that it exists. Ostensibly a comedy, Skidoo was produced and directed by Otto Preminger, who has also unleashed on an unwary public such tid-bits as Hurry Sundown and In Harm's Way. He is funnier when he is serious...
