Huff and his wrecking crew have inspired a fanatic band of followers who stand four deep in the mezzanine of Yankee Stadium to cheer them on. To get a look at the field, they build platforms out of anything handy-beer cans, stray cartons, or trash baskets. And when the Giant defensive behemoths take over-particularly deep in their own territory, where the tackles are roughest-the mezzanine turns into a howling, back-pounding jungle...
Mudd scored the first goal for the Crimson with 18:10 gone in the opening quarter. Halfback Bill Rapp dropped a perfect pass right in front of the Cornell nets, and the entire center of the varsity line charged en masse, sending everything--ball, goalie, and a few stray defenders--rolling into the goal.

Led by Trotskyite Boss Victor Villegas, 200 men stormed police guarding the embassy. The police fired tear-gas shells, then pistols. A dentist was killed by a stray bullet. Then calm crept back to La Paz, but new violence broke out the next day in out-country Cochabamba and Oruro. Police drove off the Oruro mobs, but Cochabamba's U.S.I.S. Library was gutted. Final toll: two dead, 38 policemen injured, $50,000 damage...
