...years ago were gloomily talking of a "lifelong struggle" in the aftermath of Russia's space victories and the Castro revolution, now talk perhaps too optimistically in terms of "winning it all in this decade." Says one: "We need to hold the line with firmness and sweat out this decade. The Communists have a rotten empire, and it is crumbling...
...shambled across the 18th green like a young grizzly bear, his pudgy face ruddy from the sun, his white cotton shirt soggy with sweat, his cream-colored cap perched precariously on the back of his close-cropped blond head. Tournament officials clustered anxiously on the apron while grey-uniformed state troopers strained to hold back the surging gallery; on all sides, TV cameras zeroed in to carry the scene to 9,000,000 home viewers across the nation.

He's a crude, embarrassingly inept social thing in an HAA sweat shirt--a C student at best, these people maintain, as they request more scholarly replacements to beef up the total intellectual output of the College. The most common disagreement is with the admissions policies of the University, which, they say, "have been guilty of admitting too many jocks...
