...curious bystanders. Despite its vile temper, the camel is prized for its ability to withstand searing desert temperatures with a bagful of survival tricks. Among them are its unusual abilities to retain water in the bloodstream (with the help of high concentrations of a special kind of albumin), sweat so little that its skin almost always feels dry, and keep out heat with a coat of thick...
THAT MILTON'S PRODUCTION lacks in originality, it makes up for in sweat. Observe the seven squealing, prancing Urchins. They'll smile til their faces ache, they'll dance til they collapse, they'll be so sweet you'll contract diabetes.

John David Crow, a halfback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1957, recalls going into the dressing room after practice, pulling off his sweat-soaked uniform and, too tired to stand, sitting on a chair in the shower. As he relaxed, Bryant called the team back on the field for another practice. Baking in the sun, Crow fainted and was out for three hours. The first sight he saw upon regaining consciousness was Bryant...
