...takes off from his apartment near Harvard Square, jogs across the Charles River on the Weeks Me morial Footbridge, trots on to the Harvard Graduate School of Busi ness Administration, which is about halfway on his route. There he pauses for 30 pushups, 30 situps, and occasionally a dozen chin-ups on a convenient tree branch. Then he heads home, sprinting the last 200 yards to "make the blood flow into the fin gers and toes and lungs and head." In Cambridge, his jaunt brings only looks of tolerant amusement from those he passes...
That was not the only embarrassment for the Russians. They also took it on the chin in ladies' cross-country skiing from a blonde Swedish snow bunny named Toini Gustafsson. A gymnastics teacher, Toini already had won the 10-kilometer cross-country; in the 5-kilometer, trailing Russia's Galina Koulakova by 4 sec. with one kilometer to go, she made a kamikaze dive down the last slope to earn a second gold medal...

Tracy's seamed old face knits together, and his chin goes up like that of an Indian chief reading threatening smoke signals. The Negro maid upbraids Poitier as a "smooth-talking, smart-ass nigger" taking advantage of her little girl. Only the family friend, lovable Monsignor Ryan (Cecil Kellaway), is unfazed, as a good Catholic priest should...
...lifts his head back now, chin sparkling, and sets the whites of his eyes writhing in the flashing light. Rising stiff-legged to his full height, he jams his guitar into his crotch and jerks back and forth--riding his wooden horse for all it is worth...
