...Regan, too, has been trying to develop in this spring's team the discipline which has been so absent in recent years. Recently, while the Crimson was doing its daily 100 jumping jacks someone got out of step on number 75, and Regan had everyone start all over again.

...eviction at University Hall last April was the classic example of unregimented riot control. The Cambridge police that were involved in the raid, unlike the State Troopers present, had not been adequately trained in crowd control, and that most important of qualities when dealing with crowds, restraint, was absent in their conduct.

It just so happens, for instance, that Grand is an avid TV-watcher, and his propensity to change channels lets Southern smuggle in random bits about a disguised puma that eats its competition at a silk-stocking New York dog show and two gnarled heavyweight contenders who prance...
