There are more serious criticisms. Agnew delivers a sort of .45-cal. prose ?heavy, highly charged, often inaccurate and dangerous. If students and liberals are disposed to an apocalyptic vision of America as a runaway, can cerous technocracy, Agnew's audiences are suggestible to his appeals to a "Love It or Leave It" America. In Harrisburg. Pa., two weeks ago. Agnew attacked the more militant dissidents as "vultures" and declared: "We can afford to separate them from our society with no more regret than we should feel over discarding rotten apples from a barrel." What did he mean...

The heroics, or whatever, of Rex were sort of filling a hole in my life, for I had not the misfortune to leave last year's Yale game five minutes before its completion. So Blankenship was fulfilling the Frank Champi role, and Denis Sullivan was Pete Varney. Six seconds were left, and the tension was unbearable. Interference had just been called in the end zone, and we had new life. A buck into the line failed, but as the clock ticked on Blankenship refused to fold, and got the final touchdown...
