...with M.I.T. a close third. Running for the freshmen will be Ed Martin, Wes Hildreth, Dave Call, Dane Oliver, Gary Brooten, Henry Marcy, Dave Donaldson, and Dave Fill-man. The remaining four starters will be chosen from Steve Clapp, Bob Cabot, Jim Lorenz, Dick Millett, and Larry Hager...
Hall next attached himself to John Hager, an ex-convict (bad checks) turned taxicab driver and pimp. When the kidnaper gave Hager an $18 tip, the cabbie was elated. "I knew I had a Good-Time Charl'e." he gloated. He took Hall to a hefty (176 Ibs.), blonde prostitute named Sandy O'Day, and the three drove to a motor court near St. Louis.

This seems to point to the slow action of normal erosion, not to the sudden impact of a meteorite hitting the earth. Another strong point is that no large mass...
