...Princeton will be no easy whistle-stop for the booters. Coming off one-goal losses to powerhouses Cornell and Brown, the Tigers should be lusting for a victory. And while Princeton coach Bill Muse has been known to commit a gaffe or two himself, he's got a pretty strong team to back him up this year...
...anyone charges that the Tigers have a lack of dynamic offensive leadership, Muse need only point to junior forward Paul Milone, who has already notched seven goals this fall. He is supported on the front line by veterans Allan Marshall and Tom Beaton, and a talented group of freshmen headed by Dave Maldonado...
...Hemingway could also be charming, especially when they were apart. During one month's absence he wrote her 20 letters and half a dozen cables. He profoundly needed his well-bruised Muse, and as a Muse, as well as a wife, Mary clearly was hooked. At Finca Vigia, Hemingway's "charming ruin" of a house in Cuba, she typed his manuscripts, answered letters, checked receipts, and ran a household that numbered four gardeners, a cook, a butler, a maid, a chauffeur (not to mention the dogs and cats). On the Pilar, Hemingway's beloved 38-ft. yacht...

...indulgence. She paid her dues. Once when Hemingway was diverted by a 19-year-old Italian nymphet (the model for Colonel Cantwell's love in Across the River), Mary moaned, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen." Hemingway counterpointed, "Nobody knows but Gellhorn." But Martha Gellhorn, wife-Muse number three, was a successful novelist and had been married (for less than five years) to a younger, less desperate Hemingway. Mary, not Martha, was there when the Nobel prize arrived, late as usual. Mary was also there on the morning of July 2, 1961, coming downstairs to find...
