...quit his job to go "on the bum, mostly because I wanted to find a way to the top." He found it six months later when he met some songwriters in a New York delicatessen. After the patrician manners of Baruch, the tunesmiths looked to him "like a bunch of dumbheads"-until he learned that some of the heads were creating $50,000 worth of songs a year. Again Billy got the jump on the competition, analyzed every novelty song of the day. All of them, he decided, had a silly syllable, and of all the syllables, the sound...

...Tigers have basically the same bunch of players who were known as "hey-you" when Bill Bradley was making basketball history at Princeton. Their leading scorer is Don Rodenbach, who has an anemic 13.5 average. John Haarlowa and 6-9 Ed Hummer are both scoring slightly more than ten points per game...
