Coach Frank McLaughlin, who hopes some of the experience will spill over to help next year's squad, expresses the opinion of the entire entourage when he says the trip was memorable for the basketball but above all for the cultural experience. "Let's just say that the only thing that went wrong was that the airline showed the same movie on the flight home as it did on the flight going over there," he adds...
...jumped and left," said National Hurricane Forecaster Gil Clark. "There is not much chance of loss of life unless someone stayed down on one of the beaches." For a while, a tanker grounded by the storm 12 miles off the coast looked as if it would break up and spill its cargo of 11.8 million gallons of crude oil into the high seas. But the vessel appeared to be riding out the storm. "God was good to us," said Eddie Gonzales, a deputy sheriff in Brownsville, as the storm spent itself over sparsely populated range land...

They are more like emblems of autobiography, acts of passionate self-identification. Picasso's Minotaur, now young and self-regarding, fresh as a Narcissus with horns, now bowed under the bison-like weight of his own grizzled head, is Picasso himself. His Mediterranean images are the last appearance, in serious art, of the symbols of that once Arcadian coast...
