Taking over on Adams' 43-yd. line following Woody Lennon's punt return, Leverett needed only four plays to score. On second down, P.K. Pakalnis sprinted 32 yards to the 11-yard line and two plays later swept around left end for the touchdown...
Along the way, Rolls-Royces have fallen into the hands of everyone from V.I. Lenin, who fitted his with caterpillar treads to brave the fierce Russian winters, to John Lennon, who chose a psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Lord Mountbatten bought a new one nearly every year. Indian maharajas ordered them gold-plated, Lawrence of Arabia covered his with armor. Field Marshal Montgomery's Rolls was the first private car to land with Allied forces on D day. Other owners have included Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and the Michael Jackson clan, who are said to own eight among them. Queen Elizabeth...

He would also like to understand why anybody would have lived in such a godforsaken area. Indeed, Gran Pajaten seems more like a place to put a prison than a great city...
