Sparked by Richard ("King") Cotton, and Ooge Ujifusa, Harvard's nine batted around four times in the heaviest shelling this year east of Hanoi. Demoralized, the Good Guys popped up on three straight pitches in the in the bottom of the ninth and went down 23 to 2. Pre-game odds had made WMEX 7-5 favorites...
...father had gone broke trading cotton, so Lyndon arrived on campus with just $75 borrowed from a Blanco bank and began earning $15 a month as a janitor. Yet board and room cost $30 a month.

Clad in black cotton bellbottoms, draped with carbines and bandoleers, each of them wearing a tattoo that reads Sat Cong ("Kill Communists") on their chests, the "junkmen" look like tough customers. They have girls in every port, they dine on grilled octopus stewed in rotten fish sauce, they swipe fish from passing customers, and they claim to have searched 200,000 boats last year...
