...first quarter. Harvard dominated the third quarter, keeping the ball close to the Cornell net. The Big Red fullbacks kept turning away the attack, and the balls that got past the fullback line were either deflected or stopped cold by the Cornell goalie. The fullbacks for Cornell started to tire, however, and the fullback covering the Crimson's Gomez was beginning to give the Gambian star too much running room...
...sensation of being truly and permanently fucked in mind and body. I had been in Detroit maybe six weeks, I had taken this 45-minute drive countless times-but this time, at night, it proved to be a totally different trip. The familiar sights along the way-the "biggest tire in the world," the River Rouge Ford plant (the biggest automobile assembly line in the world)-were all lit up against a terrifyingly black Midwestern sky, gassy, electrified.

...After a week, the windows came open a tiny crack, and finally they were flung open altogether. Increasingly, I was left alone for long periods. After ten days, the soldiers gave me a pair of sandals-or gap, as I learned to call them-cut from an old automobile tire.

At the height of World War II, when Elliott was 51, Goldstein was drafted into the Army. He promptly fractured...
...says you can't go home again? Janis Joplin did it last week, and for her special effort won the prize-a flat tire-as the member of the class of '60 who had come the farthest for the reunion (from San Francisco to Port Arthur, Texas). Her Thomas Jefferson High School chums were more than a little bit surprised to find that she hadn't changed much, except for her feathered, wild, mod clothes. One buddy muttered rather sadly of the let-it-all-hang-out soul-rock singer: "I hate...
