...meet will feature an extra weight class, 118, which Captain Andy Kopecki will drop down to fill. In his old 123 slot, John Moss will get a start. The rest of the line-up probably will be the same one that faced F&M last week. Star junior Danny Naylor is still beset with a leg injury, and sophomore Bruce Goodman is slated again...
...comedy is completely eroded now. Badly wounded themselves, Bonnie and Clyde escape to the sanctuary of C. W. Moss's home. C. W.'s father puts on a smarmy smile for the couple, but then arranges their execution by trading with the police: his son's life for the couple's death.

Quick as a wink, one of them is gone. Swallowed. A single yellow feather drifts down to settle on the moss. I laugh, delighted by the purity of it." In a familiar childhood rite, he discovers the intricate magic of a yo-yo that he has bought from two Oriental itinerant salesmen, and learns the various movements-"walking the dog," "loop the loops" and a dazzling number called "the universe...
