...choice; if a man wants to be a soldier, he can do so, and if not, he does not have to. The idea also appeals to all those who have become increasingly aware that the draft weighs unfairly upon the poor and the black, the dropout and the kid who does not get to college...
...speed to stick with a receiver coming out of the backfield. One scout ranks him with top Pro Linebackers Tommy Nobis and Dick Butkus. The only difference "is that Pritchard is one inch shorter." Enyart, who also rates high as an offensive fullback, is "a hardnosed kid who can make those snap judgments that give him a jump on the play."

He sets himself up as a kid scientist, still wet under the nose, making it because of a will to conquer DNA, despite his unpreparedness in chemistry, X-ray crystallography, and mathematics. He portrays the discovery as little more than the fitting together of the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, with one eye on the clock because Pauling is almost there...
