...Rizzo replaced Phillips at quarterback for the Elis, and the offense began to come alive. Halfback Mike Southworth busted up the middle of the field for a 20-yard gain to the mid-field stripe. And then, Rizzo picked out John Spagnola on a crossing pattern for a first down at the Harvard...
...kids they logged a lot of time in front of the tube watching the late show. Gable, not Dylan, became their hero; Carousel, not Hair, their fantasy musical. Grown up, their look is zoot-suit city: double-breasted and pin-stripe for the gents, shoulder pads and scarlet lipstick for the lady. The New York quintet call themselves Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, and their RCA debut LP is this season's breakaway disco act.

Meanwhile, the highway dodged back and forth from canyon wall to cliffside, avoiding the river's embrace, grinding grimly and duty-driven as straight and narrow as it could--in short, a coward of a highway with a yellow stripe down the middle of its back, vaulting over danger spots where the river threatened to merge. It was one highway the bulldozers and steamrollers had pounded some morals into; and besides, this was North Carolina, where premarital merging is frowned upon...
