McCurdy felt both Fitzgibbons and Campbell "didn't run as well as they might have the second mile because they were unfamiliar with the rough terrain," as the harriers had to wend their way through the rock outcroppings that littered the course...
...place of these "obsolete" ideas Rainer suggested "neutral performance," "task-like activity," and "singular action," concepts, embodied in Terrain (1963), Part of Some Sextets (1965), and The Mind is a Muscle (1966). At this time Rainer aimed at a movement style combining "the coordination of a pro and the non-definition of an amateur." She put together large, rambling structures, often according to random game rules, and relying on repetition and interruption. She considered a viewer's comment, "But she walks as though she's in the street," a compliment...
...picture," Mao said in his early days of organizing. For 20 years, his army marched across the length and breadth of China, educating and organizing the peasants who were the movement's core. In one year his army marched and fought across 7000 miles of rugged, Kuomintang dominated terrain, losing 90,000 of its 100,000 troops. The Kuomintang also killed Mao's sister and first wife. Only after the Second World War were the communists able to devastate the U.S.-backed forces of General Chiang Kai-Shek, until eventually and finally China's major cities "fell like ripened fruit...
...moment of what may be that region's first national triumph in over 100 years, seems stalled between the glorious past and an uncertain future.

Says Novelist Walker Percy: "The problem is how to get out from under...
This hypothesis, however, also failed to test out. CDC researchers screened the tissues for evidence of antibodies to bird-carried viruses. The results were negative. CDC tests found no indication of either plague or typhoid fever. So the search went on into more exotic terrain. Tests also ruled out tularemia (rabbit fever), a deadly tropical disease known as Lassa fever, and Marburg disease, a viral disease from Africa. Further screening seemed to dismiss fungi as a suspect; no fungus is known to produce the fatally fulminating pneumonia typical of Legion disease...
