BOXING ENJOYS a special prestige in this country, equalled in degree only, perhaps, by money. There is nothing more intimately involved with the American way of being a man than the ability to knock someone down with a fist, and the cachet of a prizefighter exceeds that of, say, a football or hockey player, or a soldier, or certainly a novelist. In a century of institutional mayhem on such a scale that not only motives but actual numbers are impossible to comprehend, the boxer is our Deerslayer, the last surviving synthesis of American violence and American aloneness. And whether...
...paper bags with Dean May's face on them over their heads," Hemphill recalls. She joined the picket, but failed to bring proper masquerade attire. Someone spotted her and notified CRR, in session on the tenth floor. It decided on the spot, Hemphill's tutor later told her, to knock her penalty up one notch from "suspended suspension" to "suspension...
Scott Sangster--Sangster probably played the best game of the crew, but he still had some problems.

The fake is the creation of Fernando Pelletier, a Mexican who has 14 "Cartier" boutiques, half of them in the capital, and others in places like Acapulco, Guadalajara and Puebla.

The company has won 25 suits against Pelletier, but the copy Cartier remains in business, and still costs the Paris original...
...NOTEBOOK: One person disappointed by Dartmouth's come-from-behind 28-24 knock-out blow against Brown was Harvard sophomore halfback and kick return specialist Scott McCabe. His brother Jon is a senior offensive tackle for the Bruins and a co-championship in the family looked mighty fine... Harvard seniors got a little deja vu after Penn's opening two scores. Two years ago, the Quakers went up 13-0 in the first quarter before Harvard came on to win 17-13... Two-hundred-fifty pound linemen don't scare them, but Callinan and center John Francis hate airplanes...
