...those who simply want to look at the pictures, the words that follow may be thought of not as bits of language but as bits of Styrofoam, packed around the images they accompany to keep them from breaking. The pictures are precious, though they could not be called rare. The sweet creature they show is the new Top Model, who is among the most extensively photographed, and certainly is one of the most expensively photographed, women on earth...

Everybody wants to throw out a first ball, so I've bought all these harmless Styrofoam baseballs. You can throw one out yourself, if you'd like." After a slow, Styrofoam hailstorm, the Sox jumped ahead of the Boston Red Sox. Ralph Garr in left and Zisk in right misplayed fly balls, but Ken Brett pitched strongly, and Veeck's patchwork heroes...
