...guess I was one of the few million closet Reaganires people too embarrassed to admit before the election that we were going to vote for an old actor, someone the IV news portrayed as a non-intellectual with a perpetual "gee whiz, ain't life grand' grin...
...keep my maiden name. Well, I'm going to drop it as quickly as I can." It even crossed her mind that rushing out so far ahead might be "showboating," but only if she faded along the way. A banner from Bowdoin College (her alma mater) made Benoit grin, and a mural of herself on a building prompted her to look away. "I'm not trying to make any statement," she said.

...shot (color-coordinated with the German uniform) 52 ft. ¾ in. Not bad; better than Thompson's best, though not quite up to Hingsen's. Then Thompson, in his first try, launched the shot 51 ft. 7 in., a new personal record, and sported an "aw shucks" grin to go with it. In the high jump, Hingsen did what he had to do.

Last week, with her mid-size Yonex racquet doing the talking, she told some tennis truths that no one now playing can possibly deny. And perhaps set a standard of all-around play that will endure for the rest of this century...
