...disappointments in Williams' life have not been small. He lost his wife to a brain tumor four years ago, ten days short of their first anniversary. Symbolic little barriers were blocking his way right up to game time. On Super Bowl eve he endured three hours of root-canal dental work. And as the first quarter was closing in a 10-0 Denver rush, Williams' left leg crumpled; Schroeder entered for two plays. Although wobbling like a table, Williams was back for the first snap of the second quarter and for the remarkable 17 offensive plays that followed. All told...
...wells operate within sight of the runways at Calgary International Airport. At Coconut Joe's, the joint with the concrete palm trees out front, a favorite drink is root-beer schnapps. And in what passes for subtlety, the two Olympic mascots, male and female bears, are named Howdy and Hidy. Get it?

"If a reporter is bullying you, the viewers at home may start to root for you," Ailes advises in his book You Are the Message. "The more inflammatory the journalist, the cooler you should...
Relieved of this worry, Stankard began producing a profusion of wild-flower paperweights: painted Trillium, black-eyed Susan, loosestrife, lady's slipper and prickly pear cactus. Sometimes they were shown in their entire life cycle: bud, blossom and seedpod on a single stem. Sometimes their root systems were shown beneath the earth on the underside of the crystal globe. Even as a child, he had a passion for wild flowers. Now, as a working artist, he improved his knowledge of their shape and form by studying flowers he found growing behind his house or on long walks in New Jersey...
