And Larry Brown's last two outings as a Harvard pitcher, if but one of the live league games is lost...
...final crash, the mob violence unleashed on a cult hero hints at others to be remembered. Maybe the Guru Maharah Ji's rock band will fail. Maybe Werner Erhard will marry Linda Renstadt. And maybe, thinking back on absent friends, "Dad" could have blown it. Jonestown could have gone the other...
