...takin' everything you got, man, and you ain't hurtin' me." In the fourth round, Frazier bulled Ellis into the ropes and felled him with two crunching left hooks. Ellis staggered to his feet only to be bludgeoned to the floor again by another murderous left. The bell sounded at the count of 5, and Ellis somehow made it to his corner to lose sitting down. Frazier, a disciple of Martin Luther King's, hopped around the ring crying "Free at last! Free at last...
...allowed, whereupon Alinsky started to leave. "No smoking, no speech," he announced. The embarrassed president at once relented: though having made his point, Alinsky refrained from smoking. He upholds the public's right to good service in restaurants; to get attention, he will throw a glass on the floor or bellow insults at the waiter...
There is no joy in the gym. It looks more beguiling and comfortable than your living room-indirect lighting, wall-to-wall carpeting, floor-length mirrors-but right away you begin to hurt. "Hear that grinding noise?" says your chesty instructor, as he leads you through some neck rotations. "You're breaking down calcium deposits."

Later, you and Herb are actually in a karate class taught...
Tazieff contends that the Afar triangle is, geologically speaking, a section of the expanding floor of the Red Sea. That floor, he says, has been uplifted by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other activity linked with lava flows from the Red Sea rift-whose axis has somehow been displaced slightly westward in the area of the triangle (see diagram). But the uplifting is only temporary, he writes in Scientific American. Only tens of thousands of years ago, a fleeting moment by geological standards, the Afar triangle was partially covered with seawater. As the Red Sea continues to widen and the subsurface...
