...ripping the hood off another car, metal clanging, a 16-minute red flag to clean up the mess--and only a bum shoulder, Stewart's, as a result. Then on the last turn of the last lap, Earnhardt's famous black No. 3 Chevy Monte Carlo plowed--thud--into the wall and drifted back out, nose smashed. No fire, no catapulting frames. Ironhead had walked away from stuff that looked a lot worse than this. "No one ever expected Dale Earnhardt to die in a race car," said Max Helton, a NASCAR chaplain...
...notes sounding just right. My account of mixing, then, in short: Matthew flipped this and that, we discussed this and that and suddenly, we had an album. It was a brilliant moment, albeit late at night, when my exhaustion only allowed me to register it with a dull thud of a smile. Needless to say, we still managed to make it over to the Hong Kong for a scorpion bowl to celebrate. The straws were extra long and the drink extra smooth...

This fowl existence is driving even Ginger (Julia Sawalha, known to U.S. viewers as young Saffy on the Brit-import sitcom Absolutely Fabulous) close to desperation. Then, out of the sky, a savior drops with a thud. He is Rocky Roads (Gibson), the "flying rooster" from a traveling circus, and he vainly promises to teach the hens--this coop of flighty, flightless birds--how to soar to freedom. But while Rocky the flying churl plays up to "all the beautiful English chicks," Mrs. Tweedy has bigger, nastier...
...once seemed impossible, but another giant has been toppled. In Syracuse, N.Y., the last survivor of the Bonwit Teller department store chain, whose flagship store once graced Fifth Avenue, officially went out of business Monday. It was more of a whimper than a thud. The chain's legendary Manhattan store, which had vaulted ceilings and was the first U.S. retailer to sell European clothing, closed its doors more than a decade a go - its site is now occupied by the gaudy Trump Tower and a Nike emporium - and the final store of the chain hadn't turned a profit...
