...rebels, drunk and high on hemp, chose their victims for the night. Jean de Gotte, Belgian honorary consul in Paulis, watched in horror: "The first dozen were bound, hands and feet tied together behind their backs-trussed like chickens. They were taken outside and dumped on the sidewalk. Five white fathers were stripped of their cassocks and their beards were cut off. Mr. Tucker was first. They hit him across the face with a beer bottle and blinded him. Then they beat him slowly, down the spine, with rifle butts and sticks. Every time he squirmed they...
...here that Carlson chose to make his life. Born in Culver City, Calif., the son of a Swedish-immigrant machinist, he had been raised in an atmosphere of religion: the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, an offshoot of Lutheranism. Two years of service as a seaman in the U.S. Navy (1946-48) provided him with the G.I. bill and eventually his medical degree.

California had a dismal 3-7 record this year, but the scouts couldn't care less; nearly all chose Morton as their first-string QB. "You name it, he can throw it-short, long, fast, slow, drop back, roll out, standing up or falling down." Running close behind Morton is unbeaten Alabama's Joe Namath, 21 (6 ft. 2 in., 194 Ibs.), who has been handicapped this season by a banged-up knee but is still rated "the best drop-back passer in college."
