Glistening sweat in the violet sunset, they hoist the bus onto its back. The horde swarms over its body, urinating from on top. A '72 Dodge Challenger, stuck in the mud, is sucked up by the crowd. Before the driver can climb out the windows are bashed in. Out of the crowd arch Molotov cocktails, their path flickered across 8,000 forms, the fire mirrored on their foreheads. Lurching into the warm at top speed comes a bog car to the tune of I'm the King of Rock and Roll. It runs head on into the bus. The night...
After the blood and tears of war, Israelis, to reverse Churchill's famous aphorism, were asked last week to sweat in the service of their nation. Faced with declining foreign reserves and the prospect of mass unemployment once the country can no longer pay for raw materials to feed its factories, Premier Yitzhak Rabin's government imposed the stiffest austerity program that Israel, or almost any other nation, has ever seen...
Sometimes when Brown is waiting to expound his views before an audience, his hands wring fervidly and sweat glistens on his forehead.

When his achievement is cited as a "splendid example of the American dream," Sonny shifts uneasily. He, like anyone watching this movie, can see it all coming...

I was so close I could see the ants crawling madly around the dimples of his golf ball and the beads of sweat dripping from Killer's temples as he helped line up the putt. Regalado double-checked the grain of the green for a third and final time, then stroked his ball smoothly into the back of the cup. Once again, the crowd erupted. But this time it was Regalado who was gesturing "charge." Killer...
