It becomes so automatic, Holt writes, that when he selects a number between 1 and 10,000 and asks his students to pin it down by quizzing him, his own "no" to the student who asks if it is "be tween 5,000 and 10,000" brings groans, even though the no is as informative...

They now have fast (40 knots), 60-ft. to 70-ft. boats, designed to look like fishing craft, that regularly land agents along...
...Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco's hangar-sized discotheque. Though modern jazz normally goes over with teen agers like a 9 p.m. curfew, Lloyd's passionate attack held them spellbound.

Dipping and bobbing as he played, he flew off on melodic tangents that were by turns coy and playful, ten der and savage.
