...winners snake-danced around U.S. college towns all through the night. And even the losers-for once-could take comfort in how the game was played. For in 1963 it is played by brilliant quarterbacks who spin and dance and fill the air with leather. 150mething Borrowed. College football has neither the studied grace nor the unbridled violence of the pro game. Its quarterback stars are not polished professionals who read the Wall Street Journal, belong to the P.T.A., and get birthday cards from their insurance agents. Their game is still a game. They make mistakes, and if they ever...
...carry long rifles or travel in prairie schooners, and there was not a Daniel Boone in the lot. They were peddlers. In their 140-lb. packs, they carried free enterprise in its purest form to the frontier. Inexpensive needles, thread, piece goods, fancy notions, buttons and furbelows, even snake oil, but these were what the pioneers needed - the thousand tiny common denominators of civilization.

To Jackson's cops, this was just another protest march-and up came the paddy wagons to haul the marchers off. Next day, the cops rushed a group standing on a porch, clubbed some Negroes, grabbed a white man, throttled him with a billy club, kicked and beat him till blood gushed from his wounds. A day later, Negro youngsters again moved down the street in ones and twos, carrying...
...Sound Mobile drifted in through the windows of the Mills College Music Building where the old man sat, brittle and aching in his wheelchair. Outside, on a balcony, a college girl dressed in death-wish black and a free-form welder's helmet slithered through snail and snake dances, while on another balcony, a pallid redhead paused in her dance every now and then to tug the string that let a plastic moon pop up from the bushes below. In the branches of a tree on the campus, a girl in red softly sipped from a white teacup that...
