...Good. When the slaughter finally ended, outclassed Abilene Christian could take some comfort in the fact that it might have been worse. Memphis State's No. 1 quarterback, James Earl Wright, 22, key man in the Tigers' wide-open attack and the most dangerous back in the South, had been given an afternoon off. A sturdy six-footer, Wright is the ideal split-T quarterback. He runs the bread-and-butter option play with swift precision, can throw a pass accurately while on the dead run to either his left or his right. Says Coach Frank Camp, whose...
When he entered Memphis State, Wright looked like a better candidate for water boy than for All-America. Puny (148 Ibs.) and injury-prone, he was an erratic passer. But Wright put on 43 Ibs. by stuffing himself with food and lifting weights, practiced passing until he could hit a fast-moving receiver on the helmet at 50 yds.

Phillip Randolph, The Blacks remains the most successful off-Broadway show...
...most frustrating (Robert Gutman and Dennis Wrong talk about property space and chop words with a microtome precision that reveals little but their capacity to ignore Riesman's central concerns). They can also be pointless (William Kornhauser's main point seems to be that neither Riesman nor C. Wright Mills has found a perfect description of politics...
