He found that if he was tired enough at night, he went to sleep simply because he was too exhausted to stay awake.

It was dark early, because of the storm.

I had come to New Orleans two years earlier after graduating college, partly because I loved the city and partly because there was quite a noted art colony there.

She softly let herself into the bed, and took her regular side, away from the door, where she slept better because Keith was between her and the invader.

And he knew that the men talked about him behind his back, saying that he was one up on everybody else -- including the pilot of the plane with the swastika on it -- because he was chemically incapable of fear.

Keith was on his feet because he didn't care at all about life any more: Penny on her feet, proudly, because she cared too much.

Back in the house a hoodlum named Red Buck, sore because Billy had been allowed to leave unscathed, jumped from a bunk and swore he was going after him to kill him right then.

That night he dreamed a dream violent with passion, in which he and the Woman, now the teacher, did everything except engage in the act ( and this probably only because he had never engaged in the act in reality ), and when he awoke the next morning his heart was afire.

Jack walked off alone out the road in the searing midday sun, past Robert Allen's three-room, tarpapered house, toward the field where the other boys were playing ball, thinking of what he would do in order to make Miss Langford have him stay in after school -- because this was the day he had decided when he thought he saw the look in her eyes.

That should do it, he thought, because Miss Langford had said she was going to be strict about school work.

This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

Sometimes I guessed it was because the rain squall had changed direction.

It was also subtly familiar, for it was the odor of the human body, but multiplied innumerable times because of the fact that the aborigines never bathed.

Their writings assume more than dramatic or patriotic interest because of their conviction that the struggle in which they were involved was neither selfish nor parochial but, rather, as Washington in his last wartime circular reminded his fellow countrymen, that `` with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved ''.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

They never troubled themselves about us while we were playing, because the fence formed such a definite boundary and `` Don't go outside the gate '' was a command so impossible of misinterpretation.

They, perhaps, gave the pitch of their position in the preface where it was said that Eisenhower requested that the Commission be administered by the American Assembly of Columbia University, because it was non-partisan.

`` I hated the war '', he said, `` but thought I ought to go because I was, perhaps, one of those who hadn't done enough to prevent it ''.

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

It was also referred to as FP ( from " floating point ") because of the command used to invoke it instead of INT for Integer BASIC.

The FP was renamed the Armée Nationale Congolaise ( ANC ), or Congolese National Armed Forces.

On 9 July 1960, there was an FP mutiny at Camp Massart at Elizabethville ; five or seven Europeans were killed.

Craig's thesis was heavily influenced by the work of John Backus on functional programming ( FP ) languages.

APL was the primary influence on John Backus's FP.

Against the Pentium, the 68060 could perform better on mixed code, Pentium's decoder could not issue an FP instruction every opportunity and hence the FPU was not superscalar as the ALUs were.

This meant that optimizing for the 68060 was easier, no rules prevented FP instructions from being issued whenever was convenient for the programmer other than well understood instruction latencies.

To enforce the rubber quotas, the Force Publique ( FP ) was called in.

The FP was an army, but its aim was not to defend the country, but to terrorize the local population.

At least one of the songs, " The Runaway Train " ( b / w " The Ugly Duckling "), was released as a single on Music for Pleasure ( catalogue FP 10 ).

The priests found him several weeks later, and at the end of the school year he was sent to the Force Publique ( FP ), the Belgian Congolese army.

Sea turtle fibropapillomatosis ( FP ) was first discovered in 1938.

These rebellions were brutally crushed by the FP ( Force Publique ) which was composed of all whites ; a mixture of Belgian soldiers and mercenaries.

The Force Publique ( FP ) was called in to enforce the rubber quotas.

FP sync was used with FP ( flat-peak ) flash bulbs designed specifically for use with focal-plane shutters.

In 1965, the paper was bought by Winnipeg-based FP Publications, controlled by Brig.

FP put a strong emphasis on the Report on Business section that was launched in 1962, thereby building the paper's reputation as the voice of Toronto's business community.

Note that a drop shutter-like mechanism with adjustable slit was used at the focal plane of an apparently one-off William England camera in 1861 and this is considered the first FP shutter of any kind.

A camera-mounted FP shutter's main advantage over the competing interlens leaf shutter was ability to use a very narrow slit to offer an action stopping 1 / 1000 second shutter speed at a time when leaf shutters topped out at 1 / 250 sec.

Folmer and Schwing ( USA ) was the most famous proponent of single curtain FP shutters, with their large format sheet film Graflex single-lens reflex and Graphic press cameras using them from 1905 to 1973.

A parallel development to faster speed FP shutters was electronic shutter control as part of the general trend of electronic governance of all camera systems.

Any lingering suspicion that this was a trick Al Budd had thought up was dispelled.

Both had blonde hair and blue eyes, and there was even a faint similarity of features.

There was more to this than Jones had told him.

He was thinking of Rittenhouse and how he had left him there, to rock to death on the porch of the Splendide.

The silence oppressed him, made him bend low over the horse's neck as if to hide from a wind that had begun to blow far away and was twisting slowly through the darkness in its slow search.

It was the night Clayton had tricked them in the poker game.

He knew who was riding after him -- the men he had known all his life, the men who had worked for him, sworn their loyalty to him.

The land over which he sped was the land he had created and lived in: his valley.

The Gap looming before him -- the place where had confronted Jack English on that day so many years ago -- was his exit from all that had meaning to him.

He was thinking that the way she had responded to his own kiss hadn't meant what he had believed it had.

He might tell her how sorry a spectacle she was making of herself, pretending to be blind to the way Julia Fortune had taken Dean's affections from her.

His looting of the orderly room had taken only a minute or two and the vicinity was still clear of guerrillas.

At the same moment Wheeler Fiske fired the rifle Mike had given him and another guerrilla was hit.

The bullet had torn through the flesh just above the knee, inflicting an ugly gash that was forming a pool of blood on the floor.

In the brief moment I had to talk to them before I took my post on the ring of defenses, I indicated I was sickened by the methods men employed to live and trade on the river.

Next to him was a young boy I was sure had sat near me at one of the trading sessions.

The war captain had been badly wounded and was fighting to hold his seat.

She said, and her tone had softened until it was almost friendly.

She had picked up the quirt and was twirling it around her wrist and smiling at him.
