Examining the German Renaissance paintings and sculptures, James Chase of Spokane, Wash., said he was able to take the five days away from his transition because it will save him "time, time, time," in improved organization later...
...quite a persona. Whether the name is Kluckhorn, Perlmutter, or Ginsberg, the same character resurfaces. He is a semi-suave ectomorph who will chase any nubile starlet, whether it requires a descent into a sea of polyester leisure suits at the Americana Hotel or a lengthy sojourn in a Ukrainian cafeteria in the east twenties.

A smart outfield would make this doubly difficult by backing way out into the grass, for a dangerous hitter, sometimes so far that you couldn't even hear their between-pitch chatter...
