...Lichtheim, to paraphrase Brecht, would have to sweat to get the common people into his book and he doesn't take the trouble. So history becomes the battle of great thinkers, each a bit self-conscious in this un-Hegelian day and age, looking over his shoulder now and again to see if the rude folk are in fact trailing along behind...
Arrayed in a red helmet, orange sweat shirt, baggy black pants and borrowed skates, McCarthy gamely ventured onto a rink in Concord for his first hockey match since 1938, when he was high scorer for St. John's University in Minnesota. During nine minutes on the ice, he took one spectacular spill and "got a little wobbly" toward the end, as an opposing player put "it. But he also delivered a devastating body check and captured the puck in three face-offs. When it was over, a puffing McCarthy declared: "I didn't think they were that tough...

Moreover, Mills is being unduly immodest when he argues: "I can't twist arms. The Administration thinks that...

The Astrodome lacks a basketball floor, and this might have been an embarrassment when unbeaten, second-ranked Houston University wanted to use the Dome for its game against unbeaten, top-ranked U.C.L.A. No sweat for the judge. He reached clear over to Los Angeles to borrow a portable floor, spent $10,000 trucking it to Texas and setting it up. Then he went out and sold all 48,500 seats plus standing room for $200,000-largest gate in basketball history...
