Four years ago the University's coaches looked at the freshmen coming through the registration lines and drooled with anticipation. "Yum," said John Yovicsin (or whatever it is that football coaches say) as he watched the likes of Bill Grana, Jeff Pochop, Bill Southmayd and Mike Bassett pass through. "Slurp," went hockey coach Cooney Weiland as he observed one of the most remarkable freshman teams ever--Gene Kinasewich, Ike Ikauniks, Bill Lamarche, Barry Treadwell, Bill Fryer, and Mike Patterson, among others...
...Scoop, Slurp & Chop. Looking beyond Europe, the Agrnesis plan another aggressive campaign in Japan, which, curiously, is second in world pasta consumption, and in Australia and South America, which have sizable Italian-descent populations. Aiming also for the big U.S. market, Agnesi hopes to overcome the American complex about weight by stressing that hard-wheat spaghetti contains only 300 calories a serving and is rich in B and E vitamins. Agnesi hopes to prove that it is also so filling that Americans, who can be distinguished at the table by their knife, fork, spoon, twirl, twist, scoop, slurp, and even...
Salt-caked, coral-scraped, sunburned and exhausted, Roberts, a 33-year-old chiropractor, returned to his home in Pensacola, Fla., thoroughly pleased with his fishing trip.

Another major factor has been the jet age, which has brought the coral reefs of Fiji and other faraway sources of exotic fish within a few hours of the U.S. This shorter travel time, plus new sleep drugs which make fish inert, thus reducing their oxygen intake by two-thirds, means that more fish can be transported in less water-and hence sold more cheaply...
...underprivileged without their own slurp guns, the prices of marine tropicals (very few have been bred in captivity) are high enough to give status to almost anybody. Commonest are Damsels at $2, Angels and Butterflies at $6 to $10 apiece. Sea horses cost about $3. But temptations abound. How exciting to make a pet of a toothy moray from Ceylon ($35), or a lion fish from the Red Sea ($35), who packs enough deadly poison in his spiny ugliness to kill a man. How exhilarating to be first kid on the block with a $400 trigger fish from Zanzibar...
