Needless to say, Sciolla scored as right fielder Kelly committed an unpardonable error, letting Smith's fly ball slip past his glove to give Hal two bases and Harvard the tying run. Smith followed Sciolla shortly thereafter as McGregor singled him home...
...called himself "a man God has turned inside out like a glove," and he had that infectious inner fire sometimes found in those who become adult converts to a great spiritual vision. He grew up in Paris, barely nourished spiritually on the lukewarm Protestantism of his mother. When he enrolled at the Sorbonne in 1901 during France's rich and corrupt Third Republic, rabid French anticlericalism had turned the church into an intellectual ghetto.

They do not exhibit fear until nightfall, or on weekend afternoons. At these points the MOTHER-IN-LAW arrives for a white-glove inspection of the home. This includes a revealing scrutiny of the kitchen (with its telltale odors), the male's collar (with its inevitable ring) and the salad (too vinegary). On the next visit, 3.8 seconds later, all is perfection, thanks to the intervention of a remarkable product that scents...
