...boasting. He is simply expressing the rock-solid self-confidence that has sustained him through 22 remarkable years on the tour and brought him 114 victories. This season may turn out to be the best of all. He is, to begin with, 42 years old, an age when most great golfers are faltering, if they have not already collapsed. At 42, Arnold Palmer, for example, won no tournaments on the circuit and fell from third to 25th in earnings. But despite his years, Player this season came from seven strokes back to win the Masters. The next Sunday, he made...
...remark captures the essence of the man−enthusiasm, an admiration for excellence, and the complete confidence that he is right, that the horse really is the best in the world.

Along the way we are casually reminded that the Beatles upended parent-child relationships, destroyed the Brylcreem market and supplanted the Kennedys as teen-age-culture heroes. One girl is so shaken by Beatlemania that she breaks up with her fiance; she suddenly senses that life has more possibilities than she had previously realized. A loud mouthed boy (Bobby DiCicco) tries to chop down the Sullivan show's transmitter because he knows that the Beatles mean the death...
...aside and have faith in the nuclear industry because of its long history, though we aren't to expect too much from it because it's really too young to have any of the real answers. Twist 3: we are told that environmentalists want us living in the Stone Age, but we don't have the technology for that...
