...Olympic contender, will head the card," Jackson said excitedly, as he peddled tickets in the Lowell dining hall. Hundreds of phone calls and miles of legwork later, George Jackson not only sounds like, but is, the promoting wunderkind of boxing at Harvard. Division Boston New York 106 lb.

...late '60s and early '70s, the spine-cracked paperback editions of Hermann Hesse (Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, Magister Ludi) stood in a haphazard pile beside every mattress on the floor, next to the roach clips and Earth Shoes. The American counterculture claimed the Swabian mystic as a guru of its own discovery, its subterranean priest. That was perhaps an instructive case of self-absorbed audience imitating self-obsessed author. In fact, Hesse during his astonishingly long career had been appropriated by three other generations (in Germany, anyway) as their own secret voice.

...home-made turquoise jewelry to other roadies to survive. He was on the way to a rock concert he'd heard abut in Oregon, and since he had lost all his money the night before in Carson City, he was in a hurry to sell as many necklaces and roach clips as he could to the concertgoers. I hadn't heard of any concert, but he'll, he'd been hitching 20 years against my two weeks, and we made it as far as Mount Shasta, California before a rainstorm and the approaching cold night forced us to seek shelter...

...lobbying, 300 American nuns attending a convention in Pittsburgh of the National Assembly of Women Religious issued an open letter beseeching the all-male College of Cardinals to incorporate into the election "the voices of those whom present church structures exclude from participation." Minnesota's Archbishop John R. Roach, vice president of the U.S. bishops' conference, even named names.
