Previously, some goalies wore masks while recovering from injuries. His practice of roaming from the net to play the puck for his defensemen brought an entirely new dimension to the game. In an astonishing string of seasons beginning in 1955-56, Plante won the Vezina Trophy and led the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup for five straight years.

His childhood; his precocious writing success; his sailing experiences; and the truth behind his first marriage, divorce, and name change are set forth with candor and sympathy. Along the way Nikolai Tolstoy reveals the seeds of inspiration that would one day lead to comparisons to Jane Austen and even Homer.

As possibilidades desses orifícios a tal ponto impressionaram o maquinista que ergueu logo ambas as mãos num gesto do gênero do que acompanha a exclamação: "Conta lá!” · À ordem brusca do Dodson Tubarão, que era o comandante da força, o maquinista desceu ao chão e desligou a máquina e o tênder. Então o João Cão Grande, empoleirado no carvão, sorriu por trás de dois revólveres apontados ao ajudante e ao fogueiro, lembrando que corressem a máquina cinqüenta metros pela linha abaixo e ali aguardassem novas ordens. O Dodson Tubarão e o Bob Tidball, desdenhando proceder à limpeza de minério tão baixo como os passageiros, dedicaram-se ao veio magnífico que era o vagão de valores. Encontraram o guarda envolto na crença firme de que a máquina não estava tomando nada mais forte que água pura. Enquanto o Bob lhe tirava esta idéia da cabeça por meio de uma coronha de revólver, o Dodson Tubarão ocupava-se em ministrar uma dose de dinamite ao cofre do vagão.

Extractions: Prolific American short-story writer, a master of surprise endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot, which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved it. "It was beautiful and simple as all truly great swindles are." Porter was born in Greenboro, North Carolina. He grew up during the post-Civil War depression in the South and was poorly educated. His father was a doctor; his mother died when Porter was three. He left the school at the age of fifteen, and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He continued to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married. In 1884 Porter started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone . It was at this time that he began the heavy drinking. When the weekly failed, he joined the

Extractions: N ew York August heat is enough to drive a man mad. Woman, too. Airconditioners churn at full force, dripping on your head as you pass beneath them, but they have yet to concoct an airconditioner that can cool the streets. Out here you work up a constant thirst with plenty of cool places to quench it. I have idle hours and wade the naked steaming streets in shorts, armless teeshirt plastered to my sweaty back, paying attention as best I can. To give my visit form, I seek out places where writers have lived or drunk, as good a structure as any, though an impossibly ambitious one. It would no doubt be easier to draft a list of the writers, artists and musicians who didn't live here at some time or another than the ones who did. The Little Prince here, on the 23rd floor of 240 Central Park South at Columbus Circle where he lived during the German occupation of France in World War II? He died on a military reconnaisance flight over France in July 1944. It exasperates me that I have only just learned that he lived there, just across from where I worked for several years in the 1960s, on the 12th floor of the now demolished Coliseum Office Building at 10 Columbus Circle, at the time I first read The Little Prince . And what , you may ask, would it have mattered if I had known? Perhaps nothing. Perhaps a good deal. Is it of value to cultivate our awareness of great things that have been accomplished just across the street from where we toil in drudgery? I think it does. I want to know these things. I want to know the geography of it, the housing.

Extractions: format this article to print PORTER, WILLIAM SYDNEY In La Salle County, Jesse Leigh Hall, qv a retired Texas Ranger, managed the ranch holdings of the Dull brothers from Pennsylvania. Porter lived on this ranch for two years with Betty and Richard Moore Hall. qv Mrs. Hall was a well-educated woman and had a library that Porter used during these years. While he herded sheep for Dick Hall, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary was his constant companion. During his two years on the ranch, Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short stories. Lee Hall was Porter's prototype for the Texas Ranger who appears in many of the Texas stories. In 1884 the Halls moved to a new ranch in Williamson County, and Porter moved to Austin and lived as a house guest of the Joseph Harrell family for three years. During this time he worked at several jobs and was active in Austin social life. For a time he was a member of the Hill City Quartette. During this time the first recorded use of his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling "Oh, Henry" to the family cat. In 1887 Porter began working as a draftsman in the General Land Office
