Local fisherman had told Bullitt's party of a line of clay fragments which stretched from the shore out into the sea. They followed it out to the wrecks, where they had spent a week testing new techniques in under-water archeology...
...only thing that stood between Chicago Black Hawk Bobby Hull and goal No. 51 was the entire National Hockey League. By rights, even that should not have been enough. Hull, 27, has muscles (biceps: 171 in.) bigger than Cassius Clay's, a top speed of 23 m.p.h. and a lefthanded slap shot that is quicker (118 m.p.h.) than Sandy Koufax's fastball.

After the pristine beauty of the Yard begins to cloy, or, worse still, or worse still, after you inched your way along the algae-encrusted corridors of one of the Union dorms for a few months, the Towers look understandibly inviting. Real penthouse living. Unfortunately concrete idol has clay feet. For some, living in the Towers can be a grisly experience. The view of course is fine if you're lucky enough to get a room above the seventh floor. But you can't look out the window all day, and when you're not looking out the window...
