...title story, Dr. Benito Zamora (a.k.a. "Dr. Do-Good" because of his charity work in his native Mexico) finds himself cripplingly alone and seeks to escape the city that is suddenly distasteful to him.

One can easily imagine the notes solidifying more and more over the next two films and into the familiar, thundering music of Darth Vader in the original trilogy...
After breaking Harvard's 500m record numerous times during the indoor season, Ciollo is seeking the elusive 47.20 that it would take to move Jim Herberich '85 down a slot. Ciollo's personal best of 47.81 is a mere six-tenths away from Herberich's record, and is definitely within reach...
