Whenever a dull moment threatens, Hill rummages around in Michener's bottomless bag of epic tricks and comes up with windstorms, conflagrations, eruptions, street fights, breech births, shark attacks, luaus, lava-lavas and assorted shouts and muumuus-not to mention a large number of young wahines who appear in a state of nature and fill the giant screen with impressive outcroppings of what Hawaiians call papaia.

Looking like the fiercest shark in the pool, Nobel Prizewinner Martin Luther King Jr., 37, was making the best of a bad leave on the eleven with a thin-cut one-rail shot to the corner. Cracked the preacher, who had hustled in from a civil rights walking tour of the city for the game: "I'm just shooting my best stick." No masse demonstrations, please...
