...along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream...the nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer and the sacred tree is dead." Black Elk of the Oglala Sioux...
...teetotaler himself, was obviously irked when legislative assembly members greeted his decision with cheers. The move had been more or less forced upon him. As Karunanidhi metaphorically put it, the state had become "a gem of camphor surviving unlit in the midst of the flaming tongues of a hoop of fire"-meaning that thirsty Tamils had only to drive to adjoining Pondicherry, Mysore, Kerala or Andhra Pradesh for a drink.

After the game, one Baltimore fan offered a solution similar to that so often proposed by the Yankee-haters of old: "Those...
...HOOP HINTS.... The Milwaukee Bucks appear to have their eye on Harvard's own Hal Smith, the sophomore sharpshooter and all-around hoop hero. They're dreaming of Big Lew Alcindor feeding Hal at the top of the key and midcourt. Hal, a member of the Gene Conley Fan Club, says he likes the idea as long as the Brewers draft him, too.... Cage coach Bob Harrison has asked the athletic department to order red suitcases and toothbrushes for his team's road trips to match their red blazers. The new items will carry the player's name and uniform...
