Bleeding or dazed, some people wandered aimlessly out of the Coliseum. Some fled wildly across the ice, slipping and skidding as they tried to escape. Others clawed with their bare hands to drag away 500-lb. blocks of concrete that pinned people in the wreckage. The auditorium, brilliantly illuminated by spotlights, echoed with screams of the injured-some lying helplessly trapped beneath bodies of the dead. A man walked about asking everyone he saw, "Where's my kids? Where's my kids...
LEANING back with his alligator pumps up on his bare desk, President Terrell Croft Drinkwater, 55, of Western Air Lines conveys the impression that his job is soft and his approach rustic. Not so.

"Hush, let him sleep a little more," his mother murmurs. The light goes out. In the darkness slowly the boy opens his big, gentle, worried eyes...
...visit a college with completely restrictive social rules to realize that male and female students who care for each other will make do with whatever they've got--the woods, a river bank, a motel room or borrowed apartment, the back seat of a car; a locked classroom and bare floor, if nothing else is available. It is a happy rule that men can no longer legislate away desire. They can only temper it with physical or mental discomfort or, if the night is cold, with a creeping fear of influenza...
