...person, designated the homeowner, immediately would be declared the loser, and the rest of the game would be spent determining how much he would lose." When Reasoner called the phone company to complain about digit dialing, the response made him fume: "They've got that defense in depth, whereby the first three people you talk to know only one phrase each, like a chimp trained to press a lever for a banana-flavored pellet...

Heller and Rothberg then spent a full five months, including line-by-line reading of 15 volumes of appropriations-committee hearings, to produce a highly critical series on defense-procurement practices.

Harrison has done a remarkable job in instilling spirit in his team--sophomores Noble, Joe Stanislaw, Mike Collins and George Yates typify the spirit: though sparingly used, they talk it up on the bench and hustle through practices, all interested in improving the program...
