...Shit, you know Charlie Cobb, he's a freakoid cracker. Freakoid crackers are individualists to an extreme degree. They smoke, but they know its gotta be kept a secret from the rest of the world. They might have been to Vietnam and started smokin there. But one thing they don't like is freaks. They don't like to be considered freaks. They consider freaks lazy. They might have hair down to their assholes, but they're willing to get out and shovel shit and dig ditches. They don't look down on any chore that needs doin...

Boxer Joe Frazier started off the 50-meter swim with a spectacular belly flop. Furiously flailing away but going nowhere, Smokin' Joe surfaced long enough to sputter, "I quit!" Afterward, he panted: "It was like I was throwin' punches at the water and the water kept hittin' back. My big aim was to keep from drownin'." The Cincinnati Reds' Johnny Bench was a more serious competitor in the golf tournament. But two drives into a mangrove swamp erased his early lead and he finished second to Stefanich, who posted a 41 for the nine-hole...
