...games, called in the head coach at Memphis State University, where only four out of 38 players have managed to graduate since 1973. In the nine-member Southwest Athletic Conference, more than half the colleges have been tainted by athletic scandals. Jock factories such as these have been the feeder schools for professional teams, acting in many cases more like farm teams than educational institutions. In the National Football League barely one-third of the players hold college degrees, and some estimates for the National Basketball Association are even lower...
...people. There are trailers at the Easy Living Mobile Manor, and the Easy Living Laundromat has a sign out front that says, THANKS FOR COMING, but there are no people. Windows are unbroken, and a few have curtains, neatly sashed back. There are some cars, a bird feeder made from a plastic Seven-Up bottle, a hammock tied from an elm to a sycamore, a riding mower with a Six Flags sticker on it, and FOR SALE signs all over the place.

There are absurd attempts to fetch her back from Ox and his daughter, mostly culminating in physical removal. It is obvious that the romance, as all romance in Chilly Scenes, was at best a respite rather than a rescue from...
Piedmont owes much of its current success to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. Before that Piedmont, like other regionals, had been restricted mostly to the role of a "feeder" airline delivering travellers to the large carriers waiting at such major hubs as Atlanta and Chicago to fly them to their final destinations. Says William McGee, Piedmont's vice president for marketing: "We knew we were generating a substantial amount of traffic in our core system and then giving it to somebody else." Since it is generally cheaper to carry passengers on longer flights with fewer stops, the feeders...
