Its first score came on a 22-yard field goal by Tom Patterson, that bounced on the crossbar and through the uprights...
Much of the book was written at Harvard. In a fascinating study of Chinese in the Carribean, Orlando Patterson, professor of Sociology, comes to the conclusion that ethnic allegiance is not as powerful as Glazer and Moynihan make it out to be.

The women have been meeting once a week ever since, and Mrs. Howard has "high hopes that Dee will be understood when she asks where to check her luggage" upon her arrival in Austria...
...billion this year, and the city has begun issuing new short-term notes virtually every week simply to meet its payroll. The eleven major local banks that underwrite most of the bonds and notes are not only protesting but also squeezing the city to become prudent. Led by Ellmore Patterson, the chairman of Morgan Guaranty Trust, the bankers have ended their competitive bidding for new issues.

Municipal officials must sit down for protracted and embarrassing negotiations before the bankers will agree to market its securities...
