...blasted him for "fibbing." Manhattan's Village Voice has lambasted him in two pieces, implying that he is, among other things, a closet racist. The New Republic, which liked him in April, decided in January that "up to now, Carter has been unjustifiably considered part of the liberal pack." Politicians, especially, have seized opportunities to undercut Carter: when he recently referred in public to Hubert Humphrey's "record as a loser," Democrats of divergent political plumage leaped to Humphrey's defense.

Yntema pulled out of the pack at 75 yards and swam pretty much alone in route to his two-second victory. Princeton's Loughran, who had just swum in the 1000, finished second in the race...

Then a voice from a dugout called him in and he never came back out. They'd told him to pack his bags and get going. This could happen to Brayton at any moment: in early December, the player-to-be-named-later from the Ferguson Jenkins trade was still unnamed, and it was being conjectured that a minor league reliever would be going to Texas.
