A slender, brown-haired Kappa Kappa Gamma named Joan Carol Martin was especially anxious. After all, Joan was a political science major, an honor student who was deeply interested in juridical philosophy-particularly as expounded by Justice Douglas.

...dash, Mel Patton once explained, is to "boom and float" - explode from the starting blocks, drive hard for 50 yds., then "settle down and go for the ride." Slender and wiry, the World's Fastest Human of the '40s rode to a 9.3-sec. 100 - a world record that stood unmolested for 13 years, until Villanova's Frank Budd clocked...
