Hamlet is a loser. He loses his father, his crown and the woman he loves. His university chums betray him, his sanity all but deserts him, and at 30, he dies by the poisoned tip of a rapier...
...proceedings. A couple at first, but the number began growing, and after a while the whole damn offense was running through signal drills. A guy named Rick Furbush, who handed off to Ed Marinaro at Cornell for two years, was quarterback. Richie Szaro who sent Furbush home a loser two years ago with a field goal in the snow at Harvard Stadium, was around to handle any kicking that might be desired. In all, the quality of the team had risen, you understand, but a lot of the newcomers weren't exactly the kind of Freaks you and I have...
...Edmund Muskie, limping into fourth place with only 10% of the vote, was the real loser. Once regarded as the front runner, Muskie's defeats in Florida and Wisconsin have deflated his "trust and confidence" campaign. In an almost breathtaking descent (see story, page 20), Muskie in a matter of weeks has become merely another contender...
...Miami Beach with a lock on the nomination. If so, it will be a fascinating week in July. A deadlock would probably eliminate McGovern as too leftward and experimental, even though that might provoke a fourth-party rebellion.

The 3rd was a newly formed unit, raised largely by conscription, of local men, including a good many draft dodgers and delinquents. Considering the ferocity of the initial North Vietnamese barrage, retreat made sense. But it was not sensibly executed. Some units quit the field...
