...challenger--navy blue suits, white shirt and conservative tie. He rocks on his feet nervously. When he talks, he tries to joke at times, tries to convince people that he deserves to be Senator. He's tired of being a representative and is an ambitious young man. On the wall behind Tsongas is an old World War II poster. "Victory," it reads, "is a question of Stamina."

A whole wall can be flat, or any triad of panels can jut out, changing the sound. In fact they can all move at once. This phenomenon clearly had more impact than Boulez intended. The room seemed to sway, and a wail like a sea storm turned...
...call this type of return a 'hold-up' left, where the line is holding up and trying to set up a return wall down the left sideline," Horner explained afterward. "Their punter hit it to my right, and I started heading left when I noticed there was nobody in the middle. Poty (Steve Potysman) sprung me loose and after that there was this big alley.
