...crawling with hitchhikers, all heading where I was, to this great Sixties type rock concert. Woodstock, here I come. A VW van slowed down, picked me up, and then took another hitcher, and another, and we headed off. By their conversation I was able to deduce something was amiss.

Whether it be her egotistical children, glib reporters eager for another story or leftists looking...

Anything that happens within the confines of a locker room is not for publication. It's all part of the family. If you had a fight with your brother, you wouldn't want it put in the newspaper; you'd want to work it out. It's the same thing here."
