...unaccountably bad night, scoring just 17 points-14 below his average. With Robertson's modest defection, there seemed to be no way to keep Philadelphia's Wilt Chamberlain from winning the Ford-although he needed it less than anybody else, since he owns a $24,000 Bentley-and can't get into a Volkswagen.

After that discovery, he quit school entirely and headed for San Francisco "to find out what was happening. That was the Kerouac era." After a hitch in Army intelligence, he started his professional writing career in 1960, doubling as the off-Broadway man for Women...
