...A.F.C., only the Oakland Raiders face an easy path to postseason play. After an opening-game loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Raiders mowed down their next eight opponents with an awesome passing attack led by Quarterback Ken Stabler, and a tough, unyielding defense. Pittsburgh, the Central Division favorites, have been just as stubborn on defense, but the Steelers' offense has sagged, and they now find themselves in a tight battle with the Cincinnati Bengals. Though all but out of the running, the nettlesome Houston Oilers and Cleveland Browns both promise to torment the leaders in future weeks...
...special bond that calls for special terms, like James Johnson's terms, and the terms Racial Scott uses in the best parts of her book. We can't share in the bond, though: we read Scott's book and get mad, and see how the people in Detroit and Buffalo and the San Joaquin valley get mad, but we can't get mad like they get mad.

...West Side was a tough part of town--and that's where a lot of the old men in the club came from. Some of them, John Bennett, Doc Schaab and Jim Turner, were national and Olympic champions. John Bennett, a captain for the Buffalo police force, still holds the world record time for pair-oareds shells. John was a great one for pep-talks but I remember him best of all for his training recommendation: one bottle of Ballantine Ale every day. Some of these men lived half their lives down at the boat-house. One, who always chewed...
