After all, compelling Arafat to concede on Jerusalem would imperil not only himself, but also pro-Western Arab governments from Egypt to Saudi Arabia who would...
...place in the annals of Japan's sports heroes. A skinny lad with the face of an angel and the arm of a demon, Matsuzaka kept a nation enthralled throughout the tournament.

Shaka was 16; he was a baby. Jamon was a 31-year-old man. I'm not going to give him that. He knew I loved him. He made a horrible...
...please the party hacks. Instead, "Really" sounds not just nasty but tone deaf, down to what should have been a classic punch line: "(Gore:) 'I took the initiative in creating the Internet.' Yeah, and I invented the remote control, too." It's a beauty - right up until that final and redundant "too," which utterly screws up the rhythm of the joke and would have been cut by anyone with an ear for idiomatic English...
