...Autumn Flutes & Saliva. "Have you met Ho Chi Minh?" an anti-Communist Vietnamese was asked. "Oh yes," the Vietnamese replied, quickening involuntarily.

Of 28 Layne passes, 18 connected for 246 yds. At half time, the Lions led, 10-3. By the time the chilly autumn evening was over, the Lions were on the long end of a 27-3 score...
