...wanderlust inferno. June and her road chum went to a bar to get drunk, the retired amateur golfers hauled themselves over to the Holiday Inn, and I was suddenly alone again, hitching up the road to the Red Sox training camp at Chain-O-Lakes Park out on Cypress Boulevard, where the Boston sportswriters were furiously clucking away at their plastic portable typewriters with half-crazed treachery written all over them. Body counts--buddies gone--a troop movement. Something had happened...
...coast. Warren had a music teacher who contrived to introduce the young student to Stravinsky (an album autographed by the master is Warren's "most prized possession").

On Linden Drive in Long Beach she left behind a poem that said, 'Remember me and keep in mind/ A faithful friend is hard to find...
...Stingray stars Hamill as a high school hot-rod builder and Annie Potts as a hippie hooker who jumps into his passenger seat. Hamill got a few bruises from his Stingray stunts and a brief scare from a California cop. Says Hamill: "We were horsing around on Van Nuys Boulevard, and a cop came over and told us to get out of the Stingray. When he saw the camera and realized we were making a movie, he turned as red as the car and walked away." Apparently even when Skywalker has his wheels on the ground, the Force is with...
