"Football combines the two worst features of American life.   It is violence
punctuated by committee meetings."

"Heroine" is perhaps as peculiar a word as any in our language;  the first

Remember the original Star Trek episode where Kirk finds his brother Sam dead,
just killed by these alien blobs, and is consoling his sister-in-law?  Well,
just before that discovery, Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the landing  party
are running around a modern-looking complex of buildings, with several
scenes filmed among those buildings, their steps, the courtyard, etc.

ANSWER:  Xerox El Segundo!

Namely, the original cluster of Xerox buildings, fronted on Aviation Blvd.
by A&E and M1.

Famous last words:  There's one from a Union general in the civil war that
may be appropriate for the #1 or #2 slot:
"Ha!  They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist..."

Thought this would appeal to the Canadians out there:
A survey was just done regarding the Meech Lake Accord 50% of the people
asked said they were opposed to it 30% of the people asked said they were
for it and the rest said they preferred the Toyota Tercel
