Unser modestly attributed his victory to luck. "Leonard," he said, "could have outrun me any time." But the baby-faced 34-year-old from Albuquerque had skill and daring going for him too. Unser's older brother Jerry was killed during a practice run at Indy in 1959; his younger brother Al narrowly escaped injury when he lost two wheels and slammed into the wall on the 41st lap of last week's race. Worried about Al, plagued by a broken transmission that forced him to stay in high gear and therefore cost him seconds accelerating away from...
...Celtics' final victory was as complete as it was effortless: the old pros beat the young pretenders at their own game. A fast-breaking team that depends heavily on the accurate shooting of its "hot hands," Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, the Lakers were both outrun and outshot.

If the ape-man became hairless so he could outrun his prey, why didn't the animals who outran the ape-man to escape him become hairless in the same process? Why should the ape-man evolve into a two-legged animal as a result of trying to run faster while the fleetest members of the animal kingdom remained quadrupeds? The answer is found...
...Beebe insisted: "I wouldn't allow my students to use a study guide to Judgment Day written by St. Peter himself." Since then, Beebe has written two trots, and dozens of other top scholars are now turning them out. Their reasoning seems to be that if they cannot outrun the ponies, they may as well ride them...
