...Star Classic on Monday in Dallas, led Harvard with a first-place finish at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational on Saturday night. Unranked freshman J. P. O’Connor also advanced to the finals, marking the first time in its history that the Crimson had two wrestlers competing in first-place bouts. Harvard finished in seventh place overall with 70 points, while No. 2 Missouri won the meet with 157 points. “I’m better prepared this year than in years past,” said Ogunwole, who captured his final bout...
Seven Harvard wrestlers, in their first scheduled match of the season, successfully placed at the East Stroudsburg Open on Saturday morning at Koehler Fieldhouse, Penn. Among the highlights for the Crimson was sophomore Louis Caputo, who finished No. 2 at 184 pounds. Senior Bode Ogunwole, Harvard’s heavyweight wrestler, defaulted out of the tournament after two matches to prepare for the NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) All-Star Match tomorrow. “Bode just wanted to get some warm-up matches before that, so after he finished the first two matches he dropped out of the tournament...
...That leaves the wild card of the election: Jewish cowboy Kinky Friedman, 61, the singer/songwriter/novelist who is trying to recreate a southern-fried version of wrestler Jesse Ventura's 1998 unlikely gubernatorial win in Minnesota.

He should have run. Instead, Grofield winds up in this first-rate hard-boiled mystery by Richard Stark (also known to aficionados of the genre by his real name, Donald E. Westlake), which reads like Raymond Chandler with a dark literary whisper...
...Village, "modern Gomorrah," he called it, in 1960. The pop-cult 50s was Dylan's home-or, at last, his sleepover when he was a kid. In Chronicles he describes his feeling of kinship with smooth-singing Bobby Vee and Ricky Nelson, with the composer Harold Arlen and the wrestler Gorgeous George. He also played occasionally in rock band and briefly backed Vee in 1959, when the Buddy Holly soundalike singer was booked to fill the dates Holly couldn't make because he'd died in a plane crash in a frosty Iowa cornfield...
