...ineffectual, hagridden history professor; his wife Martha is the university president's daughter-a bitchy, aging man-eater with a father fixation and a casual lust for younger chaps. The entertainment takes shape very late one evening when a new young faculty couple stops by for a nightcap. "Give your coats and stuff to sourpuss," snarls Martha, and the foursome is off on an orgy of truth-and-consequences that lasts until dawn. They slosh down a superhuman amount of booze, blurt family secrets, swap partners, claw the flesh away from old, still-festering wounds...
...even got an uninvited foretaste of how arid the desert might be. The capital's biggest charity event of the year, the Junior League carnival ball, took place three nights after his speech. Along with other celebrators, the Governor dropped in on a Jackson country club for a nightcap only to find that sheriff's deputies had got there first, smashed the liquor-cabinet door with a sledge hammer, and carted off all the whisky, wine and gin to the Hinds County Courthouse.

...longest doubleheader (9hrs. 52 min.) in history, both to the San Francisco Giant, before 57,037 supersatiated fans-biggest crowd of the 1964 season-at New York's Shea Stadium. The first game was a regulation nine-inning affair, and the Giants won 5-3. But the nightcap went 23 innings before Catcher Del Crandall, only able-bodied man on the Giant roster (except pitchers) who had not yet played, drove in the winning run with a pinch double to give San Francisco an 8-6 victory...
