...crew stretched a continent as vast and varied as the United States, its interior a "ghastly blank" of alkaline deserts, its outer rim a sun-bleached jawbone of barrier reefs and ragged mountains. Last week, as computers in Sydney and Canberra digested the raw data of Australia's 13th census in 178 years, it was clear that the ghastly blank was far from filled-and that for many a ruggedly individualistic cobber the ghastliest blank of all is a government census form...
Nobody got particularly excited when Palmer bogeyed Olympic's par-four tenth hole, cutting his lead over Casper to six strokes-especially after both golfers parred the eleventh hole and birdied the twelfth. Nobody got alarmed when Arnie lost a second stroke at the par-three 13th. After the 14th, with four holes to go, he still had a five-stroke lead. Then, with incredible swiftness, disaster struck.

...exciting, the loose puck bounced off Henri Richard's shoulder, hit the ice and trickled into the nets. The Red Wings bitterly protested that Richard had illegally slapped the puck -to no avail. By a score of 3-2, the Canadiens had won the Stanley Cup for the 13th time and the second year in a row. His chest pains long forgotten, Coach Blake surveyed the huge silver trophy. "Take it to the train," he ordered, "and fill it with champagne...
