Sophomore Goodenow's goal, his first as a varsity player, came off of a nice rush and feed by defenseman Bob Muse. Desmond, an ex-JV player skating on the fourth line, scored on a tip-in of sophomore Dave Hands's shot...
Inevitably he returns to Natalia/Natalie who has "the sweetness [Natalia] and ravenousness [Natalie] of an angel." In thin disguise, Tony is really a writer and Natalie is his muse. Tony's demands on himself have no limit. He wants to find a way "through which paradoxes could be held." There are other goals. How to defeat the logic imposed by language.

The pipes in turn are controlled by an elaborate electronics system, which converts signals from taped music and random noise in the room into a pattern of air release. "I think," says Rauschenberg, "you immediately get involved with Mud Muse...
