Drysdale: Let's take one thing at a time. First off, I throw sidearm because I started out as an infielder. My dad, who was once a minor-league hurler (as you guys call us), wouldn't let me pitch; he was afraid I'd get "Little League elbow." Now about that headhunting: absolutely not. If I deliberately tried to hit batters, I could knock down nine out of ten, like any other good pitcher. As for Vaseline, I never owned a jar of it. That's greasy kid stuff...
Kennedy's call was unfamiliar to most Americans. The New York Senator asked for rapid political and economic change, law and order, a halt to war. By the fatal end of his run he was keeping his appeal relatively free of recrimination. His strongest words were reserved not for segregationists, economic malefactors, or regressive political bosses; he harpooned the national leaders of his own party. Richard Nixon was no more than the butt of a few jokes. More than "poor-mouthing," Kennedy evoked a new sense of self-awareness and self-realization--more like Teddy Roosevelt than any 20th century...
...those who went there five years ago. And this situation is the same at other "pace-setting" schools. A few years ago, a new dean of admissions at Princeton changed the school's public-to-private school graduate ratio from 40-60 to 60-40. The new radicals there call themselves "Dunham's Children" after the admissions dean. Upperclassmen were calling them "lunchmeat"--a favorite Princeton expression. But the "lunchies" dominate Princeton now. And a tiny but active SDS chapter has been organizing sit-ins all year...
...Harvard football than anyone else in my career here." The lefty quarterback from Ohio gave Harvard an offensive balance it had never had before after he broke into the lineup as a junior. Bobby Leo dominated the headlines, but it was Zimmerman who made many of the key calls in the successful 1966 campaign. He passed brilliantly in Harvard's upset victory over Dartmouth--one of the finest games in the University's history. Last fall, he stumbled at times, but won Ivy Player of the Week honors for his exceptional performance in the second half of the Yale game...
...convergence of mystical patterns in the stars? Perhaps. But the student demonstrations around the world are also symptoms of a now tangible malaise which has, during the course of the years we have been at Harvard, become part of the fabric of the college education. Whatever one wants to call this sense of anxiety and unease, it has become the focus of the college experience...
