...year-old early entrants in classes with 30-and 40-year-old returnees," Mayhew predicts. "There will be young married couples, women whose children are full grown and men who, at the age of 50, will be seeking re-education to prepare for a second, third, fourth or even a fifth career-which can be for work, retirement or leisure...
...broke in a week. This just isn't any way to run a railroad. We have moved the aide's responsibilities forward without giving him comparable recognition." The main problem, as Bay saw it, was the huge staff turnover. Except for physicians, one-third of Topeka State's employees have been there for less than a year, and one-fourth for less than six months!

Eccentric Loner. Some have eyes that are crossed. Some are walleyed.

Instead, in pure self-defense, Denny caught the ball and turned a sure hit into the beginning of a triple play...
More often than not, Denny's second pitch is identical to the first. So is the third. He delights in tweaking danger by the nose just for the sheer, perverse fun of it. An opponent who hits a home run off McLain's fastball will probably get another hummer the next time he comes to bat. Denny is always anxious to prove that any hit was a fluke...
