Ciollo was also involved in one of the most exciting races of the day, the mile relay. Running anchor, Ciollo got the baton two seconds after the Princeton anchor but ate up so much ground that the two were neck-and-neck at the finish. Based on the film, he said, he made up 1.7 seconds and ran a 400-meter split of 46.7 seconds.

Joakim Berg, Kent's singer and songwriter, strutted around the stage doing a Swedish version of the funky chicken, which involved puffing out his chest, slapping it with one palm and draping the microphone cord around his neck.

Offutt knows his people--Kentucky men, drinkers, loners unsurprised at being kicked out by wives or girlfriends. He dreams in their language: "The next time I visited Tarvis, I drank the neck and shoulders out of a fifth while he talked." But Tarvis commits suicide in an elaborate, pop-novel way. Another man, a trucker, picks up a woman in a bar, is later arrested for dynamiting a dam, still later learns that the woman, for murky reasons, blew...
