Muscatine said Radcliffe, which has a winning streak of 13 in dual matches, is at a natural disadvantage in large draw tournaments, where individual talent becomes as important as team depth. "A lot of schools have one really strong singles player," she said, who can progressively eliminate the slightly inferior team players that make up Radcliffe's strength...
...dream feeling that my life is the non-identical twin, a parody, an inferior variant of another man's life, somewhere on this or another earth. A demon, I felt, was forcing me to impersonate that other man, that other writer who was and would always be incomparably greater, healthier and crueller than your obedient servant...
...references to Vadim's novels scattered like confetti through Look at the Harlequins! (the complete works are conveniently listed in the front, under the heading: "Other Books by the Narrator") are in the same category.

...this formula miss the second time around? It's difficult to say. It was probably not due to the band's lack of talent. At the least, they handled their instruments adeptly. The arrangements, however, were noticeably inferior to those on Rock and Roll Animal, particularly "White Light/White Heat" and "Rock and Roll." The lead guitarist concentrated mostly on rhythm which left a void in many of the arrangements. Finally, the give and take between Reed and his band during the Academy of Music sessions was more pronounced--the band was given a share of the limelight during the instrumental...
