Chris Hancock was one beneficiary of this strategy. He outdueled Navy's Joe Heil for third in the 1650 free (16:51 to 16:59), and later pulled away from the Mid-shipman in the last 100 yards of the 500-yd. free to chalk up his career first dual meet victory. Heil had beaten Hancock by tenths of seconds in both events at last years Easterns...
...irredeemable monster, but Kramer will not allow the audience any rushes to judgment. No sooner has Joanna left than Benton starts to direct sympathy to Ted, who must now go about the business of raising his son alone. Forced again to choose between the demands of his career and his responsibilities at home, the hero does not make the same mistake twice.

Instead of going by fits and starts, testing and absorbing other art, Still's career gives the impression of monolithic solidity: he found his style early and stuck to it for more than 30 years. No other artist living today could seem, or be, more self-sufficient...
