...feat was, few people who knew him were surprised. A superb, all-round athlete at Springfield (Pa.) High School, Bill Carpenter had some two dozen college offers when he graduated-including one from the U.S. Military Academy. That was the one he wanted, and after a one-year brush-up course at New York's Manlius School, Carpenter was admitted to the Point...

"I only want Ja-ames Meredith!" Meredith's companions scrambled for cover, stumbling over one another. "Look out, Jim, he's got a gun!" cried one. "Hit the dirt!" called an other.
