Mahoney is his name, and his despair is the nth term in a series of miseries. He is born poor. He loses his mother when he is nine. He hates his father, a foul-mouthed brute who wallops his children by day and molests them by night. He dreads his visits to the priest, a hemi-homosexual who lies down beside him in bed and talks about the boy's soul while he strokes his body...
Sedlacek's output erased the previous Harvard record of 39, set by Merle McClung at Dartmouth last year. He hit 6 of 28 shots from the floor, and went eight-for-nine from the foul line. Sedlacek's shooting in the first half, especially, was almost beyond belief; he sank eight of nine shots, mostly long jumpers, and connected on five straight free throws...

When the New Republic's new reporter, James Ridgeway, took a look at Raritan in 1963, he came to an opposite conclusion. "Not unlike the environs of the River Styx," he wrote, "a foul-smelling sewer feeds the accumulated filth from 1,200,000 people into this bay every 24 hours. This mass of putrefaction oozes about New Jersey and Staten Island shores for several days, washing the beaches with quantities of fecal bacteria, closing out the light and consuming oxygen required by fish and other...
