...placid. 7-ft. 1 1/16-in, giant watching impassively as his teammates maneuvered the ball in backcourt. The New York Knickerbockers tried to box him in; they clutched at his jersey, leaned against his chest, stepped on his toes. Then Wilt Chamberlain came alive. With the aplomb of a cop palming an apple, he reached out one massive hand and plucked the basketball out of the air.

...took a new long look at Manhattan's vaulted Grand Central Terminal. "Here," he decided, "is an entrance worthy of a city." First Honor. Yamasaki's plan called for three pairs of intersecting barrel vaults (to which others can be added).

Morgan, like Crump, is brutally and unjustifiably beaten by a Negro-hating Chicago cop. But with plenty of precedent and plenty of excuse for blaming all Morgan's troubles on society, Crump instead makes his story illustrate a more mature individual judgment-a man can live only if he forgets his own resentment and takes responsibility for his own actions. As presented by Crump...
