...Case. Together, Marchetti and Marks revised the manuscript, with Marks contributing a section on relations between the press and the CIA. They submitted the manuscript to the agency in August 1973. It was returned with 339 deletions indicated. Some of the excisions were baffling or perhaps simply inexpertly done. Chapter 2, for example, begins with a deleted remark by Henry Kissinger. Yet another passage makes clear that he was discussing a CIA project to prevent the 1970 election of Chilean President Salvador Allende Gossens...

...with printed margins and written at the top, in blue ink, the title Absalom, Absalom!. He underlined it twice and dated the sheet in the upper left hand corner." He then describes two false starts set at Harvard. So far, very interesting. After a plot analysis of the first chapter, Blotner breaks to tell us about a three-hour flying practice in Memphis. Then he returns to the book to analyze chapter two, switches back to the real world for a discussion of Oxford politics and two hours of flying, then back to the typing of chapter...
...spring of 1920 opened a new chapter not only in Ruth's career but in the history of baseball as well. That season the Babe hit a whopping 54 home runs--close to twice the previous mark for home runs in a single season--batted .376 and recorded a slugging average of .847, a record that stands to this day.

Ruth, in 152 games that year, batted .378, connected on 59 home...
