1.   I just always remember the sad spectacle of him floundering against Sharpe in that semi.

2.   All that remains is the sad spectacle of Basquiat being cynically used, consumed by success and celebrity, and seduced into the drug addiction that took his life.

4.   Or the sad spectacle of the U.S. Supreme Court split on political lines, as it delivered the first ruling in its history to decide a presidential election?

6.   Younger fry, educated by the Babbitts and the Wuorinens, could only shake their heads at the sad spectacle of the mighty Gustave in his dotage.

7.   Hundreds of South Africans gathered outside, drawn by the sad spectacle of the divorce of their first couple.
