...fourth quarter: I spoke too soon. The snap is fumbled and recovered by Penn's Tom Stone, giving the team the ball at its own 31. This many mistakes won't get you a win in New Haven next week...
...Mary Shelley's horror tale, in which the monster-maker's grandson returns to Transylvania and gets pulled back into the family business, probably has more laughs, and more fondly remembered bits, than any film in the Brooks canon. And Brooks (working again with his Producers writing collaborator Tom Meehan) has faithfully reproduced most of them on stage: Igor and his wandering hump; the steely Frau Blucher, whose very name incites the horses; the monster's visit to the cabin of a kindly blind man who turns into a bumbling firebug...
...pneumatic device the ranchers use to put livestock out of their misery and he sometimes asks his potential victims to flip a coin. If they call the toss correctly they live; if they don't they die. Across from him in McCarthy's radically simplified story structure is Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), the patient and taciturn local sheriff.

It has something to do with modernity creeping across his dimly drawn county line, though such abstractions...

The plan, implemented as the Senator discloses the information to Roth, impacts the lives of two recently-graduated soldiers: Ernest Rodriguez (Michael Pe?...
Self-effacing is rarely a term used to describe wildly successful venture capitalists. Yet in Tom Perkins' memoir, the Silicon Valley legend--hardly short of ego--manages that trick, revealing himself in all his "nerdy" glory and lifting the veil on the very good life. He sews dry humor through tales of yachting triumphs, road rallies in expensive cars, tech start-ups and the boardroom coup he instigated at Hewlett Packard. Looking back without rancor or remorse, he has a knack for storytelling that makes him feel like a buddy who never fails to laugh at himself...
