The Stand - complete edition, by Stephen King
(from internet transcript)
excerpts, Chapter 26
In Duluth a man in khaki shorts and sandals walked up and down Piedmont Avenue with a large smear of ash on his forehead and a hand-lettered sandwich board hanging over his scrawny shoulders.
The front read:
THE TIME OF THE DISAPPEARANCE IS HERE
CHRIST THE LORD RETURNETH SOON
PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD!
The back read:
BEHOLD THE HEARTS OF THE SINNERS WERE BROKEN
THE GREAT SHALL BE ABASED AND THE ABASED MADE GREAT
THE EVIL DAYS ARE AT HAND
WOE TO THEE O ZION
Four young men in motorcycle jackets, all of them with bad coughs and runny noses, set upon the man in the khaki shorts and beat him unconscious with his own sandwich board. Then they fled, one of them calling back hysterically over his shoulder: “Teach you to scare people! Teach you to scare people, you half-baked freak!”

KIRK: How is she, Doc?
MCCOY: No change.
NANCY: Small thanks to the Starfleet.
MCCOY: Now really, Commissioner, you can't blame the Starfleet.
NANCY: I should've received the proper inoculations ahead of time.
MCCOY: Sakuro's disease is extremely rare. The chances of anyone contracting it are literally billions to one.
NANCY: I was sent to Epsilon Canaris Three to prevent a war, Doctor. Thanks to the inefficiency of the medical branch of the Starfleet, I've been forced to leave before my job was done.
KIRK: Commissioner, I can assure you that once we reach the Enterprise, with its medical facilities, we'll have you back to your job in time for you to prevent that war.

(CNN) -- Horror author Stephen King was seriously injured when he was struck by a minivan while walking in North Lovell, Maine, Saturday, Maine State Police said.
King, 51, was walking south on the shoulder of a road in North Lovell, where he owns a home, at about 4:30 p.m. when a motorist approaching from behind lost control of his Dodge Caravan, Oxford County Sheriff's deputy Matt Baker said. Baker said a dog in the van distracted the driver.
King was transported to Northern Cumberland Hospital and then flown by helicopter to Central Maine Hospital.
According to Laird Covey, vice president of medical affairs for Central Maine hospital, King was conscious and alert, in serious but stable condition, and was able to communicate with his family. Officials said the injuries were orthopedic in nature but family didn't release the details of them.
Late Saturday night King was being prepared for surgery, and was expected to remain in the hospital for several days.
Police said charges will not be filed against the driver.
An eyewitness at the accident scene said King "was breathing and laying in a heap and he was all tangled and I could tell his leg was broken."
Master of horror fiction
King's prolific work -- horror novels, short stories and novellas -- has earned him the title "Master of Horror." A number of his novels have been turned into major films, including "Carrie", "The Shining", "Firestarter", "Christine", "Pet Semetary", "Misery" and "Dolores Claiborne."
Three novellas from the book "Different Seasons" were also major films -- "Apt Pupil," "The Body," titled "Stand by Me" on the screen, and "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," which, in the film version was titled "Shawshank Redemption."
King's books have been translated into 33 languages and published in over 35 different countries. There are more than 300 million copies of his novels in publication. King has also written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
