...games in a row. In the off season he logged 50,000 miles on the back roads of the South and beyond, searching for talent.

At dawn, he would shave in the station's rest room, eat a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast and then hit the road. "I learned sellin' encyclopedias," says Driesell, "that if you knock on enough doors, you'll find somebody who wants what you're sellin...
Prouvost had earlier decided to shave an inch from the magazine's vertical size to create a less bulky format. Then he ruled that a complete typographical overhaul should accompany that change.

Or their reaction may have been capricious-the opposite of the one expected by the interviewer. Still, their switch would shave the McGovern-Eagleton ticket's net loss of voters to 1.4% of the total sample...
