...well rested now, and when the going gets tough I can think back on all those fish I caught. On God and politics-- Distance running is the same as religion. Justice will triumph. On last year's captain Bill Okerman-- Okerman is staging a deadly war with rigor mortis. On two top Northeastern runners, the Flora twins--You know, I'm a gardener during the summer, and two twins named Flora put the finishing touches on us. Something is just not right. I just swear when I see them. Damn their souls. If we had some of that weed spray...

Indeed, we have admissions offices to make sure that our students are a carefully selected elite. Rarely does an Ivy League...
Unfortunately, Rojas's "accusation" has the defects of pamphletary polemics without the virtues of a police report's rigor and documentation. While it is understandable that much of his information about a conspiracy among members of the Chilean general staff would come "through channels that I cannot reveal at this time," it would be more convincing if he revealed who overheard the generals agree to enter Allende's cabinet so that "one of us can get some on-the-job training." There is a great contrast between the methods of a book like I.F. Stone's Hidden History...
