...concentration of activity was incredible; two full codes going on in the same smallish room. The medical people had squeezed in; there was a knot of them around each patient, hands on chins or EKG strips. We were working away but could only get their pressures up a little. They were both doing well lung-wise. The old man was completely out and intubated now; the nurse was breathing and reacted weakly when needles were inserted ,but that's all. There was a moment of stability and everyone seemed to look up at everyone else - the surgeons looked...
...movie you invite to the Oscar party but don't ask to make a speech. That leaves Crash. It's the most Hollyuwood kind of indie picture: amazingly low-budgeted (about $5 million), serious to the point of solemnity, and with a cast of top stars doing charity work: smallish roles in a film with big, social ambitions.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation in a 2002 report documented more than 200 historically significant communities in 20 states where teardowns were prevalent. In the Chicago suburb of Hinsdale, the report said, an astonishing 1,200 homes (20% of the supply) had been demolished since 1986. The trend has intensified since then. Nationally, as many as 75,000 of the single-family houses built last...
...anxiety and hurried at-bats—thanks, in part, to the rowdy presence of the second-largest crowd in Fullerton history at 3,604 strong, as well as ESPN cameras and the pressure of playing the champs—the Crimson will benefit from playing before a customarily smallish crowd against Missouri...
