...Colorado's White River National Forest, the 20-man "safari" struck out up a narrow, wooded trail for three miles, then broke out on top at 10,000 ft. onto untouched snow fields. Under blue skies and a dazzling sun, sportsmen zigged and zagged lazily back down the mountain, through pine trees and leafless aspen, pausing only for a lunch of coffeecake and hot chocolate in an alpine meadow. Meanwhile, at Lancaster, N.H., the emphasis was on all-out action: 121 competitors, vying for 56 trophies and cash prizes, slammed through bone-jarring, cross-country or downhill obstacle races...

Bakal's work seems certain to become...
...address when he permitted her to hold the front door open for himself and his dogs. Intrigued with this bit of noblesse oblige, I inquired if he had rewarded her in the customary fashion with "thank you." "I don't recall that he did," my mother replied. Only sportsmen will understand my profound sense of relief for that answer. No irrational, misguided sentimentality shall befog my firm conviction that Bob Cousy, while still at Holy Cross, retired the title to "The Greatest." When one considers that he did so in the prepituitary era, it is doubly awesome...
