...talented signal caller, by the way--tossed a 38-yard floated to end Dave Marsh, who was immediately nailed at the B.C. 32. Two plays later Bartolet hit left end Ron Bonebrake, this time, at the five. Bonebrake, who has a name upon which sports publicity men will thrive, raced into the end zone for the touchdown, which amounted to only a consolation prize...

Even before his stature has become "heroic," his bosses maneuver a neat fix: Angelo must be killed and enshrined as a national martyr. Instead, in a duel, innocent Angelo spits his enemy through the gizzard and continues to thrive. His bosses keep on hoping, when he is ordered to blow up an Austrian powder store and burn the fodder of the enemy cavalry. Instead of perishing superbly in the attempt, Angelo just does the job very efficiently-and comes prancing back for more, as insatiable for adventure...
