...season is Lomotil or another anti-diarrhetic, and throat lozenges, to combat the dust and coal smoke in the air. The F.F. must be prepared in advance for the virtual or entire absence of: air conditioning, ice water, ice cubes, ice cream, poached eggs, hamburgers, French fries, lamb chops, orange juice, cocktails, nightclubs, good grape wine, potable soft drinks (a prevalent banana concoction tastes like carbonated Brylcreem); cigars, low-tar cigarettes and Di-Gel; Kleenex, Band-Aids, shower curtains, shoeshines; and, with no sense of loss, lawns, pubs, sidewalk cafes, casinos, credit cards, commercials, news, Muzak, golf courses, public tennis...

After hours spent looking over the thickset Dorsets and Suffolks, fine-haired Merinos, goatish Barbado black bellies and exotic Karakuls on display, people whose only past experience with sheep also...
...combination of on-court lion and off-court lamb soothed the Sixers' savage breasts. The team won 16 of its first 18 games under Cunningham and ran away with the Atlantic division of the Eastern Conference.

The top three scorers-McGinnis, Erving and Collins-are all averaging close to 20 points a game.
