...first time in his eight-year reign as God pro tempore of Soldiers Field, Joe Restic really means it when he describes the Crimson's chances with "cautious optimism" (i.e., pessimism). One can just see him, oh, say, round about the Dartmouth game, ready to wheel and deal from the sidelines with personnel changes and strategic maneuvering, only to find himself--like Richard III on Bosworth Field-having no resources to work with...

Since then, the moths have dropped eggs in massive quantities, and tiny quarter-inch-long spruce budworms are now eating their way through 150 million acres of forests in Maine and southeastern Canada.

And not much emotional involvement in the proceedings, since neither man is ever shown to be anything but a grim-faced psychopath, hiding under the fashionable guise of being a "professional...
...jumped back into the car and drove off. A witness who had noted the Cadillac's license number immediately called the police. The crate contained the charred corpse of John Tupper, beaten, shot several times and repeatedly stabbed. When police spotted the Cadillac, they found Jacobson at the wheel. The next day, they charged him with murder...
