...cocktail party for Edmund Muskie. But even presidential politics could not keep the Governors from their preoccupation with finding a means to have the Federal Government relieve financial pressures on their home states. "It's like sex in a barracks bull session," explained Utah's Democratic Governor Calvin Rampton. "Whatever we started out talking about, we ended up talking about revenue sharing. It's foremost in everybody's mind." It was plain, too, that Nixon has not won the support he wants from the men he expected would back him most...

Ironically, the only number one choice from the Ivy League in the history of the draft didn't collapse under the pressure of the pro ranks. To be sure, Calvin Hill was Rookie of the Year in 1969.

...found himself staring into the navel of 7-ft. 1-in. Wilt Chamberlain of the Los Angeles Lakers. "If you want to stay on the court, rookie," growled Wilt the Stilt, "stay out of the middle." The next thing Chamberlain knew, there was Murphy charging straight into the keyhole. Calvin faked one way, Wilt lunged another, and the little man followed his fake to scoot in for a layup. In the home opener against the Phoenix Suns, Murphy encountered 7-ft. Mel Counts in a one-on-one situation, and scored by vaulting up and shooting over the giant center...

...many times, had practiced with weights on his ankles too many hours not "to prove myself one more time." He has. A favorite with local fans, Murphy has permanently settled in San Diego with his 4-ft. 11-in. wife Vernetta and their infant daughter Tiffani Dawn.
