...have the power to open people's lives, I could have stayed. But the enjoyment of the jolt itself, the aesthetic pleasure of rebellion, is a horrifying thought. For it is unanswerable; there is no return. The Faculty can rap on love and the Corporation can let the poor clip its coupons, all to no avail. Grant what concession you will, unless you turn American society upside-down and free the consciousness from the tyranny of the corporate state--and maybe even after all that--there is no answer to a man who enjoys his act of rebellion, who says...

I felt that I was moving along at a pretty good clip for me, and a bank clock near Newton had indicated that I was running easily within the four-hour goal. The obvious concern was: could I finish the last few miles? It became a matter of figuring, well, if I stop here and walk the rest of the way, can I still break four hours...

The city's present target...
...snail's-pace first-quarter in the mile before whirling away from the field at a 3:05 tempo to snap the tape in 4:15, a second in front of Northeastern's Mike Scanlon. With an hour and a half's rest Shaw came back to clip nearly three seconds from the 100 mark. Starting last in the field of six, he took the lead on the second lap and rambled home in 2:11.7 with a twelve-yard margin on Scanlon and his teammate Larry Joseph...
