...seat. She leaped through the hole. As she touched the ground, there was a flash of blue sparks, and she crumpled to the ground. In breaking, the tree had pulled down a 2,400-volt power line, left the wire draped as a single-strand shroud over the metal hulk...
...witty and waspish, pithy and pulverizing, often profound; but "the slovenly particularities" of the man were never forgotten by Directors Alan Schneider and Seymour Robbie, or by Makeup Man Bob O'Bradovich, who helped make Peter Ustinov's Johnson the goutiest, twitchingest, most scarred and scrofulous hulk of a man ever to wobble across the TV screen.

The U.N. fleet, said General Wheeler, will be built up to 30 vessels and will operate under a consortium of experienced Dutch and Danish firms. If all goes according to plan, said Wheeler, the canal should be open...
