...down the country's only rail link to the ocean--because of weakened internal support in the face of rioting and strikes. Pogrund perceives that just the opposite is true. The new turmoil has strengthened Vorster's hand, he says, and this revived support among the frightened white minority freed Vorster to shove Smith...
...name becomes a refrain throughout the book. It binds George, who becomes trainer of Massa's fighting cocks, to his own past. In turn, he passes on "Kunta Kinte" to his son Tom, who is emancipated after the Civil War. Tom is a master blacksmith who, as a freed slave, moves his family to Henning, Tenn.

But going back the next day I was confident of a win, knowing tonight was the night that a Roger Freed, or a Joe Lis, or a Ken Reynolds would at last catch fire. And then when those young phenoms failed us, I would scurry to the back pages of The Sporting News and read about how the Phillies' farm clubs were doing in Eugene and Reading.
