Rending Limbs. To help the evolution along, more and more top athletes who traditionally would have wound up on the striking force suddenly found themselves channeled into the defensive crews. Examples abound. Many observers feel that Dick Butkus, 29, the ferocious middle linebacker of the Chicago Bears, has year in and year out been the finest football player in the N.F.L.

...fiction-writers are the most popular entertainers and wound-healers, and the Yard has a great selection. At opposite poles of the contemporary spectrum, we have tastefully conservative John Updike '54 in Hollis 11, and Left Conservative Norman Mailer '43 in Grays 11, James Agee '32, now undergoing one of the most sustained revivals of any American author, made his freshman way in Thayer 45.
