...twelve games, he has pumped in an incredible 202 field goals and 136 free throws for 540 points and a 45-point average per game. No one in college or pro ball even comes close this year (U.C.L.A.'s Lew Alcindor is averaging only 28.3 points), and with any luck, Maravich should break the alltime college scoring record (1,209 points) set by Furman's Frank Selvy in 1954. Pete's lowest score was 30 points against Alabama; his highest was 58 against Mississippi State. One night last week against Georgia, he rattled off 42 points, including...

Bruins, who last week won their 40th game in a row, demolishing Minnesota 95-55, as 7-ft. 1½-in. Lew Alcindor poured in 28 points and grabbed 15 rebounds...

That year, long before he created Lew Archer, he produced two books which, their considerable merits aside, are valuable as indicators of his early concern with themes and fictional modes which dominate his later writing. Blue City is an ultra-tough, gut-wrenching narrative of personal vengeance, distinguished by a flexible and convincing use of vernacular speech, a sound knowledge of the impact produced on a human body by objects of diverse shape and size, and a vision of American life...
...itself which is the finest of MacDonald's accomplishments. Isolated, guilty, constantly compromised by the nature of his work and the demands of personal and professional survival, he labors not to change a world or any corner of it, but to preserve something of his own integrity and decency. Lew Archer is a natural successor to Hammett's jaded Continental Op and Chandler's cynical knight-errant, Philip Marlowe, but his problems and solutions are far closer to us and the business of living...
