...underdog. Said Team Member Dick Tushingham: "If we are simply perceived as having achieved parity with the other schools, we will have done something for Cornell." The results were to be judged by five business experts. They were also judged unofficially by 30 or so corporate recruiters on the lookout for prospective tycoons...

Brock still led narrowly in the polls when Sasser attacked his failure to disclose his finances; heir to a candy fortune, Brock was described by Sasser as "the candy man from Lookout Mountain."

Their trucks are equipped with two-way radios and escorted by scout cars on the lookout for police. On a typical run, the cigarettes are loaded onto giant tractor-trailers capable of hauling as many as 60,000 cartons at a time. As they near their destination, they are transferred to smaller trucks to reduce the risk of detection and the loss in case of seizure. Once...
