...smoking hemp." After asking for money, the rebels ordered the missionaries to their knees. "They let go with arrows and guns," said Canadian Sacred Heart Brother Jean-Guy Bruneau, 29. "Marechal [one of the lay teachers] fell on me, dead. I took a shot through the wrist that almost tore off my finger." Brother Maurice tried to run, but was hit in the leg with an arrow. He got up again and ran on. "Kill him, kill him," a rebel screamed behind him. Another arrow struck him under the arm, bringing more blood than pain. Not everybody was as lucky...
...like seeds ticking in a gourd. They merely quit the land, leaving that fractious patient stream to reclaim its banks. Another generation arose, their birthright of planting cancelled: they went through the forest and chalked the highest hardwoods. Not long after the oxen in jangling chains shafted road and tore the earth as they pulled the felled trunks to the water.... But the stream endured that too, it was granted one last fringe of privacy, one forest ribbon for its sequestering. So the water was left with a rag of honor and nothing of its former magnificence...
Clay opened Round Three with a damaging flurry of punches which opened a deep gash under the champ's left eye.

When investigating engineers tore away a wall, they discovered gaping holes in the cement undersurface as well as other alarming examples of shoddy workmanship. The VA kept patching up the structure, finally decided to strip off every one of the hospital's 1,575,000 bricks, remove all 5,000 windows and window...
Only Proper. On the Patscherkofel last week, Zimmermann made like an airplane again-a jet this time. By the time he reached the bottom of the first gentle schuss, he was already traveling at more than 40 m.p.h., and a force of several G's tore at his body as he hit the hollow where Australian Ross Milne lost control in practice and hurtled to his death. Next came a treacherous se ries of bumps: unlike more timid competitors, who hugged the surface, using their legs as shock absorbers, Zimmermann boldly catapulted over the bumps with great, bounding leaps...
