...Wigglesworth goal to open the second half, Minuteman Jim Weller interrupted the Harvard show momentarily to pump in the second half of his afternoon deuce. Having seen enough, the red-hot Wigglesworth took a pass and went into a spinning fake that left two stunned UMass defensemen wiping the dust from their eyes while he launched a cannon for his final goal...
...anecdotes are often tinged by sorrow, the melancholy is appropriate. Brownlow feels a true sense of loss about the era he describes.

Well, Toffler has too, and he repeats it in ingratiating detail, describing the steel foundry he once toiled in. "I swallowed the dust, the sweat and smoke of the foundry. My ears were split by the hiss of the steam, the clank of the chains, the roar of pug mills." Leaving to find a better job, Toffler happened on copies of Marx and Weber and Thoreau and U.S. News and World Report...
