Instead, the sheep dogs are pent up and yelp like continuous gunfire at the expanded human traffic; the hillsides are punctured with slit trenches; the sea birds are watching the boats slice through the kelp; helicopters panic the ducks; mines are planted far out near the gorse and heather. This is what war does to a landscape. The place that was a few weeks ago a vast serenity with marvelously fresh air is now "a major bridgehead," home to Scorpion light tanks and Rapier surface-to-air missiles and all the other accouterments of the most advanced mayhem...
When the 1982 budget for HHS was slashed by more than $3 billion, Good Soldier Schweiker hardly raised a yelp. But he has not yet come forward with proposals for less expensive ways to deliver the social services he once fought for as a Senator, or to contain health-care costs through greater competition and coordination.

...County precincts unreported, Richard Nixon has surged into the lead by 3,000 votes." I was dismayed, for if Nixon had really carried Illinois, the game was all but over. And at this point I was jabbed from dismay by the outburst of jubilation from young Dick Donahue, who yelped, "He's got them! Daley made them go first. He's still holding back ... watch him play his hand now." I was baffled, they were elated. But they knew the counting game better than I, and as if in response to Donahue's yelp, the ticker, having...
