...Park did deal with it, not with pen or mouth but with performance, and his silent, business-like approach to off-season criticism was rousingly successful. Park truly "did his job" as he had always done it at Harvard; emphasizing speed, pitching and defense, and seasoning it with his natural enthusiasm. In his wake he left many embarassed critics as Harvard baseball returned to its accustomed spot in the limelight from a one-year sabbatical. As Park himself summed up the past spring: "In just one year we came right back to where we were in 1975. It's gonna...

While the librarians madly scrambled for these orphaned ink'guns, someone spotted an unusually fat student running towards the exit. An official shouted 'stop him!' the student was tackled, and the mystery was solved: as the corpulent criminal went flying, his coat flew open, and enough pens to staff the Pentagon came flying out, blissfully freed.
