...lead pipe you mentioned: its use is in question as to whether a guard possessed it originally and whether it was struggled over. There were no "buckets of hot water" thrown by students, and the guards were bountifully armed with nightsticks and blackjacks-both weapons were used, shall we say, rather extensively. The demonstrators were not given the opportunity to leave peacefully after police were called but before their announced arrival. As they leaped out of windows to avoid imminent arrest, they were grabbed and ill-treated by the badly trained I.B.I, guards. The confrontation of the students outside...
...first relay. Springfield's Gary Spracklin opened up a three-yard lead, which his team preserved through the first 200 yards. But on the third leg, Crimson butterflyer Johnny Munk began to make up ground on his Springfield opponent, closing the lead to a foot with only the freestyle leg left.

Page has a much better grasp of the organically developing long line than Eric Clapton, whose style of repetitious punctuation suggests a less sentient man. But Cream was organized around...
...face with a four-letter explanation. The characters don't even manage to stay pinned down. Drag Gibson is a primary colored capitalist- but suddenly he's doing things that scream Chicago in your ear. These things could make for a very annoying novel, creating blind paths that lead to nowhere, a riot just for the hell of it. Instead, however, you wind up with a strong, funny book that manages to make its own kind of sense. It works the way a poker game does, depending entirely on the player's tricks, timing, and style. The author of this...
