Stenhouse (3 for 3 on the day) then went into his one-man wrecking crew act. In the third, after Santos-Buch had been decked by a pitch, he deposited a Bruce Pearson curve about two steps short of the trainer's room at Dillon to make it 3-0. Two innings later he stamped another Pearson bender airmail, this time going with the outside pitch to the opposite field...
Going beyond the inexperience, there is a simple derth of middies who pack offensive punch, and that is why coach Bob Scalise has had to shuffle his units all spring. He has had to make do without graduated 1976 regulars McCall, Bruce Bruckmann, Gilles Whalen, and Andy Gellis. Mike Faught, exiled to the bench as a reserve attackman in the early going, is the only middie to garner as many as ten points. Forbush, who connected eight times last year, is still without a goal this time around. Bobby Mellen, who got a goal a game in 1976, has been...
BECAUSE OF HIS OPTIMISM and passion, Erikson merits admiration not just as an exciting thinker, but for being a thoughtful and caring humanist. Robert Coles made just this point in an exchange he had with MIT professor Bruce Mazlish in the New York Review of Books letter column several years ago.

A man who said his name was Bruce jumped out of a Texaco truck to tell us that corporations owned all the jets, and that they would never take us. "They have no insurance for unauthorized passengers," Bruce said. "If you crashed you could sue them for millions". Still, Bruce said he'd let us know if he heard of anything. That Lear jet over there, he said, is leaving for Miami and Caracas today. They're small, those Lears, he said...
...that he would arrest us if we didn't quickly disappear. We retreated to Manny's Cockpit Restaurant, with its bicentennial decor, to dry off and plan strategy and punish ourselves with thoughts of condominiums and never-more-than-ten-minutes-of-rain-a-day. Two dozen yards off, Bruce was pumping gas into the Miami-bound Lear jet, and we couldn't look for its pilot without risking a night in the Teterboro jail, if there was one. Things looked bleak...
