Amateur Airman Egbert was clearly delighted at the prospect of getting his hands on Trans International's DC-8 jet and four Lockheed Constellations, which the airline uses principally for military contract work.

Sharing the frantic antics are eunuchs, panderers, aging lechers, vainglorious soldiers, and defrocked vestals. For most of them, the stage-right bawdyhouse is home...
Morse got his second goal of the night at 15:28 on passes from Jim Dwinell and Gerry Jorgenson. Bob McVey, ex-Harvard hockey star, caught the defense napping 11 seconds later when he scored from about two feet out on a goalmouth pass from Harvey Mell...
