Rising at 5:30 a.m., the South Carolina Senator jogs about three miles, then does fifteen minutes of calisthenics and follows up during the day with a turn or two with the barbells. Sometimes his colleagues are directly affected by his vigor: Thurmond holds the Senate filibuster record of 24 hours and 18 minutes, and in 1964 he angrily wrestled Texas Democrat Ralph Yarborough to the floor of a Senate corridor. ∙ When Jonathan Livingston Seagull's creator Richard Bach sold the supergull to Hollywood, he believed he had ensured the movie...

In his statement, Nwafor said, "Nevertheless it remains imperative that the search committee should discharge its duties with resolute vigor, and to make its mandated appointments forthwith to arrest further disintegration and an imminent collapse in the department...
...ironic sense of a divorce-court magistrate, and the sort of teary sentimentality that allows him to present scenes of federal troops sacking a hippie camp in slow motion while Judy Collins sings Amazing Grace on the sound track. Nevertheless, one admires the vigor, if not the style, of his attack...
