...thought what the Giants did last season was amazing and that makes me appreciate them because no one picked them to be in the playoffs. And then they get in as a wild card. They beat Tampa Bay. Then they go to Dallas, beat Dallas. Go to Green Bay, beat Green Bay. And then go to the Super Bowl, play an undefeated team and beat them...
...with the crescent moon: a small step for mankind, but a big one for a foot.) Time and again, looking at carved Romanesque capitals and tympana in Catalan churches, from Ripoll in the north to Tarragona in the south, you catch yourself breathing his name. His bestiary of images, wild and swarming and drawn with a line as exact as a knife's cut, comes from multiple sources. One, obviously, was Hieronymus Bosch. Another was the decorative art of Islamic Spain, with its precise yet often hallucinatory stylization of animal and vegetable shapes; the first sign of its incursion into...
...spokeswoman for the hospital got on the line and was persuaded to reveal the impossibly good news: ''We are donating a heart to the baby,'' she declared. The cameras closed in on Jesse's stunned parents as they broke into cries of joy, smiles and tears. The audience went wild.

The big breakthrough came at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. ''I called out some of our big Fletcher Henderson arrangements,'' remembered Goodman, ''and the boys seemed to get the idea.'' The crowd stopped dancing and rushed the bandstand. The swing...
...Eastern shuttle. The tourist is much intrigued. Could I learn to fly one of these contraptions? This line of thinking is scarier than orcas or floatplanes because it leads to seductive questions: ''Could I live in this chilly, light-struck wilderness? Could I be an Alaskan?'' Such wild surmising, which is half the fun of travel, churns dependable fantasies anywhere, in Salzburg or Ladakh. But for a U.S. citizen, the daydreams seem especially strong in Alaska. This is, after all, his own nation, yet it is stranger than Zanzibar. The pale north light itself is delusive, lingering in the weeks...
