When news was short, editors improvised. They resorted to poetry and Latin and printed irreverent homilies, such as this one from the Virginia City (Mont.) Weekly Republican: "Brigham Young agrees to confine himself to one woman, if every member of Congress will do the same." And they were not above publishing fiction as fact. Mark Twain got his start in just this way when he was working for the Virginia City (Nev.) Territorial Enterprise.

Not enough of a nuisance, though, to keep him from scoring at crucial moments: twice this season, against Temple and Brigham Young, Swartz sank game-winning jump shots from 30 ft. out in the final seconds of play. >Boston College Guard Billy Evans, 19, a 5-ft. 11-in. sophomore who has averaged 13 points and twelve assists per game, is "the last of the so-called playmakers." So says his coach...
