...hospital calls to tell him that an obstetrical patient is in the last stages of labor. Bui hurries to his 1975 Ford Granada for a trip he sometimes has to make four times a day (half an hour each way). He speeds toward Lake Village, chain-smoking Vantage 100s, but when he reaches the town, he is too late. Barbara Jones is already lying on the delivery table smiling at her newborn girl, her first baby in 13 years...
...Bernal was as impressed with the final time as they were with the success of Hackett's pace strategy. "He was trying to negative split (swim the second half of the race faster than the first)," explained Bernal afterwards. "If he can hold :50s for the last five 100s (the splits needed to go 9:00 in the event), then we think that with the excitement of a big meet he can break that barrier...
...years ago, a Crimson team which included current team members Meyer, Peter Fitzsimmons. Thad McNulty, and Rocky Moulton, placed 23rd with over 700 points. The first Harvard harrier to complete the race, Jeff Campbell, came home in 54th place and Fitzsimmons placed in the mid-100s. Meyer, Moulton and McNulty would all rather forget their performances.

If she gets some speed, she'll hit 240 ft." No devotee of training-she chain-smokes Tareyton 100s and quaffs beer with true zeal-Schmidt will check in at Montreal at 6 ft. 1 in. and 178 Ibs., some 10 Ibs. heavier than she would like -the excess due more to weightlifting than beverages. Schmidt also will take to Montreal not only her immense desire...
That the ARVN withdrawal was not yet a rout was due very largely to U.S. airpower. Day after day, B-52s, F-4 Phantoms and F-100s, flying as many strike sorties for the Lam Son operation alone as they ordinarily stage in all of Indochina, kept the battlefield under incessant barrage. Giant B-52s, used like Phantom jets for close ground support, pursued North Vietnamese soldiers through jungle and elephant grass, dropping their 30,000-lb. bomb loads as close as 600 yards to allied positions. Everywhere ARVN soldiers went, they stumbled upon phalanxes of enemy bodies, or survivors...
