Gay and he were the shadowed whispers of 4 a.m. arguments, heard across the 3-4 inch thick fiberboard that separates our kitchens. But we bought the Delac and she glows in the dark and Daniel was sky-high and wandering into our shack chanting, "Fried potatoes, Fried potatoes, Fried onions...," spuming beer down over his chin like a baby gurgling on its pablum (greasily, in big, viscous bubbles), his Coors can outstretched as he flexed to show off his "megalopulous muscles," twittering about the floor like...

However, another compelling hypothesis emerged days after the tragedy, when a film showed four pigeons flapping off from the track as the two horses approached, seeming to startle Ruffian.

...city street in Kenmore Square are nothing special. going left from Brookline Ave. to Lansdowne, you wouldn't know that the huge wall on your right, grimy the color of the warehouse and shop buildings across from it, was the backside of a baseball field. That a few thick feet away is another world, a green, swimming tank--the brilliant electric force-field of a few million peoples' dreams. It would only be Fenway Park, alive and in a pennant race...
