...thrown 40 no-hitters by the time he was 17. One day in 1960, he pitched Central Catholic High School to a 4-3 victory over South Hills Catholic High-collecting 18 strikeouts, batting a game-winning home run-and 20 big-league scouts posed for a group photograph in the stands. Sam signed with Cleveland for $77,000, spent five uneventful years bouncing back and forth between the minors and the Indians-uneventful except for his 41st and 42nd no-hitters against Spokane Indians and Salt Lake City of the Pacific Coast League...
...rushed to get into the mod in the "Space Age Boutique." There, "his" and "her" cylindrical dressing booths hung from the ceiling; changing in them was like dressing inside a barrel, with head and legs exposed. To cheer the customers on, each booth was decorated inside with a leering photograph of the opposite...

Arons' scathing answer to his student critics is that "they create certain myths to rationalize their own inadequacies." He seems proud of some mementos from his students in his cluttered office: a dead lizard, a hangman's noose...
Gauguin did not always rely on available models. The studio of Charles Spitz, then Tahiti's only professional photographer, supplied him with inspiration for his art. His Pape Moe (The Mysterious Water), which shows a Tahitian boy drinking from a mountain spring, was painted from a Spitz photo. In la Orana Maria, one of his best-known canvases, the Tahitian figures strike poses deriving entirely from a photograph of a Javanese-temple frieze that Gauguin had brought from Paris...
