...teams often come to Daytona with similar themes and music. By FM’s completely unscientific count, at least two dozen teams used at least a clip from T. I.’s nauseatingly repetitive ditty “Bring ‘Em...
...really brand new. What happened was that the heads of the few places--Ernest Lawrence at Berkeley, Arthur Compton at Chicago, John Dunning at Columbia--they contacted all their former graduates and said, 'Come on back.'

The world he describes is an arena of endless combat where victory means maneuvering behind your opponents and "hammering'em." It happened to Yeager over France, when he was flying his P-51 Mustang and three German fighters jumped him. He parachuted, evaded capture with the help of the underground, and not only made it to England but got the rules bent to allow him back into...
