...humorous letter of acceptance written by the News' Marathon coach David H. Nix, the following bold words announced their confidence: "Ye of the uncivilized north take heed, and decided now whether you dare follow through on your presumptuous challenge, for we vow to show no mercy...
...protesters in any formal way; probably most accepted society's verdict on them as tired, aimless drifters. Yet implicitly they did protest-and reject-the prevailing values of a work-oriented middle-class society.
