...bald Y.A. Tittle in high-top shoes, running a bootleg into the end zone on my weary legs. Or I dream of being Sonny Jurgensen, proudly puffing out my potbelly as if it were a chest, fading back and letting go with the most accurate arm in the game. And when I awake, I feel somehow fit and fresh and ready...
...Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and two of the women wept almost continuously. Otherwise, we represented a diverse group: a married couple, an internal revenue employee, a few housewives, a physical-ed instructor, a secretary, a lawyer, a college student, and a commercial artist with a polío-crippled arm.

In words that Marighella might have used as a model, Lenin urged revolutionaries "to arm themselves with anything they can lay hands on (a rifle, a gun, a bomb, a knife, a stick, a kerosene-drenched rag to set fire with, a rope or a rope ladder, a spade to build barricades, barbed wire, nails against cavalry, etc.). To start training for war immediately, by means of practical operations: killing a spy, blowing up a police station, robbing a bank...
