Bianucci's TD reception came after Scott Murrer picked off a Fusco pass early in the second half and returned to the Cornell 24. Callinan bumped up the middle for two, but Chris Bakowski sacked Cuccia for a five-yard loss to give Harvard a third-and-thirteen. Cuccia faded back, hesitated for a moment, and found Bianucci all alone in the right corner of the end zone for the automatic six points...
...nudie show can go on in Mount Ephraim, N.J., a small (pop. 4,863) bedroom community near Camden and Philadelphia. At the Six-Thirteen Corp. "adult bookstore," customers used to be able to pop a token worth 25? into a coin-operated machine, causing a shade to roll up revealing a nude dancer doing her bumps and grinds in a glass booth.

In 1976 the bookstore and its operators, James Schad and Toni Taylor...
...waters 60 miles off the Florida coast. On its 4½-acre deck, even as midnight approached, sailors and their officers worked amid a terrific din of pumps and engines and catapults. The ship was headed into a balmy wind, and a soft mist hung in the night air. Thirteen of the carrier's jets were still out on a routine training run.

When Dad goes through his brief recovery, Tremont notes, within a few pages, "he's like a seventeen-year-old . . . he could have some feelings of being physically thirteen or fourteen years old . . . he has all the ego isolation and drive of a twenty-year-old." These sound like random thoughts, not the shaped statements of a narrator on top of his material. Tremont's treatment of his mother also provokes uneasiness. He seems blind to his bias against...
...merde, but the trailer shows us every murder in the new version--in order--and then asks us to come see it anyway. To wit: A girl stands in front of a window. A large ice pick comes in from off screen, she screams, and--cut. The announcer booms, "THIRTEEN!" A man stands idly in front of a tree. Two hands gripping barbed wire encircle his neck, and--cut. "FOURTEEN!" And so on. And so on. And so on. By 17 I was screaming "MORE! MORE!" By 18, I yelled out for the next number before the murder...
