...backbone of that team was the bottom of the order. Underclassmen Alan Quasha, Andy Wiegand, Dan Gordon, Neil Vosters and Lowell Pratt assured the Crimson of five points every time it played. Add to that seniors Ed Atwood and Jaime Gonzalez at three and four and the Crimson totally dominated the "B" and "C" division competition at the National Championships...

Library has an undeniable force, rhetorical though it is: massive blind side walls and a lowering, heavily shadowed facade that sucks the tourists through its deep slot of an entrance. It looks both secretive and ostentatious. The absurdities start within, on the thick travertine stairs that rise to the main hall (officially called the Hall of Achievements). At their top is a high black marble monolith, inscribed with four of L.B.J.'s axioms. (Sample: "A President's hardest task...
