...behavior and admiration for his play. Rumania's Ilie ("Nasty") Nastase, of course, has for years been notorious for his displays of anger and unsportsmanlike conduct, but James Connors has taken the art of on-court temperament to new heights ? or depths. Given an audience, Connors can seldom resist the temptation to ham. Occasionally he loses control and crosses the boundary of mischief into malice.

Fortunately for archaeology, they buried their dead kings...

Will it never begin to shock us that government "of the people, for the people, by the people" is so seldom supported in our foreign policy, that our foreign aid is based on the principle "with interest from all, with charity to none"? The aid we now send simply pushes the day when people will be fed further into the future...
