Otolski had his kitchen in pretty neat order in those days. When Doyle was a freshman, his rookie squad was 10-0, which neatly complimented the varsity's identical 10-0 record and eighth place rating in the final AP poll. Tom quarterbacked that freshman team but the next year he found himself sitting on the bench plucking splinters from his gold britches...
...settling when this was still a marshland lit by the glow of municipal trash fires, and then Jews who moved in to escape the increasing number of blacks in adjoining Brownsville. They are mostly working and lower-middle class (college graduates: 6.6% ; average income: $12,303), proud of their neat brick houses.

No, they said, they would play their political games in the suburbs where politics is neat and clean and genteel, and have nothing to do with those ugly places where the work people did made smoke come out of factory chimneys...
