 AJR - 40 Years Of Death In The Afternoon
Not only are the remaining afternoon newspapers owned commonly with morning papers at risk, but independent second newspapers in the dozen cities that still have commercial competition could also be in trouble.
Two other factors compounded the difficulties of afternoon newspapers, especially in those cities with more than one newspaper: the explosive growth of suburbs and the development of modern printing technology that lowered costs for newcomers to the business.
Afternoon newspapers had already suffered the brunt of television's encroachment into evening leisure hours; with suburban sprawl and traffic congestion, it became difficult to deliver a timely newspaper beyond city limits.

It has none of the complications of death by disease, or so-called natural death, or the death of a friend or some one you have loved or have hated, but it is death nevertheless, one of the subjects that a man may write of.
The question of why the death of the horse in the bull ring is not moving, not moving to some people that is, is complicated; but the fundamental reason may be that the death of the horse tends to be comic while that of the bull is tragic.
The comic that happens to these horses is not their death then; death is not comic, and gives a temporary dignity to the most comic characters, although this dignity passes once death has occurred; but the strange and burlesque visceral accidents which occur.

As Howard demonstrates, that two women so different from each other who so often found themselves on opposite sides of the net in tournament finals should become such close friends is a thoroughly encouraging development.
''Death and the Sun" is built around one season in the ongoing career of a matador named Francisco Rivera Ordonez.
Readers repelled by bullfighting will not necessarily enjoy ''Death and the Sun," but the book is not an advertisement for the controversial entertainment, and some of the writing is exceptional, as when Lewine describes the penultimate moment in one fight by recognizing that ''the bull stood, amazed at being dead."

 Mark Moxon, Travel Writer: Nepal: Death in the Afternoon
Lying in a position similar to that of the unfit man doing press-ups – legs and belly still on the ground, shoulders raised by her palms pushing on the tarmac – her arms were clawing at the bitumen in an attempt to pull herself up.
But what she couldn't see was the mutilated mass of raw meat that had once been her legs and pelvis, a sight that reminded me instantly of the death throes of water buffalo in Sulawesi, and throughout her struggles to cling onto life the crowd stared, unmoving.
The pain would be so severe as to make a death from shock as likely as a death from loss of blood; with Nepal's hospital facilities being almost non-existent, let alone a national health plan, there is no doubt that by the time I reached India the woman would be dead.

 Death In The Afternoon - The Route 13 Battle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The afternoon stillness is fractured with a sound that sends the soldier to his knees for cover and the butterfly aloft -a sound like the runners of a child's sled skittering over glare ice, a harbinger of a 122mm rocket that impacts in the field throwing up a funnel of dirt.
Earlier in the day, when the men had scooped their lunch of rice from cups and sat silently on charred stumps and in one-man bunkers, they showed a resigned weariness acquired through weeks of combat and enemy shellings.
"Death in the Afternoon - the Route 13 Battle", by Allen Schaefer, published in the Pacific Stars and Stripes Saturday, May 13, 1972 and reprinted from European and Pacific Stars and Stripes, a Department of Defense publication copyright, 2002 European and Pacific Stars and Stripes.

 Hemingway Review, The: Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon: The Complete Annotations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The main body of Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon: The Complete Annotations is of course the annotations themselves, alphabetically arranged from ABC, Madrid's oldest daily newspaper, to Zurito, the patriarch of the Haba family of toreros.
But since Death in the Afternoon is a work that deals with much besides the toros, The Complete Annotations is also of interest to readers who are indifferent or even hostile toward the corrida.
Because Mandel's research is so thorough and her mastery so complete, she does not hesitate to take issue with Hemingway on matters both large and small, whether correcting him on Pedro Romero's age at his death or refuting some of his pet taurine theories that do not accord with the history of the corrida.

Unless necropsies can be carried out within two hours of death (impossible in most cases), evidence of pulmonary edema - the ephemeral pathology behind "bleeding" - will also be missed.
