...Santa. It had just been a game. That Christmas Eve I took my first sleeping pill. I didn't bother pecking out the window before getting in bed to see if the sleigh were flying through the air.

Nothing's really changed. The smell's the same, the guys still run stadiums after coming in half-dead from the river, and freshman coxswains still rack up about one shell a year. Anyone complaining about the rapid changes at Harvard can retire to Newell Boat House and find stability...

More recently he rode the high trapeze for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and, as a one-line badman in a yet-to-be-released western (Rio Lobo), he was shot and killed by John Wayne, who never could decide whether the tall (6 ft. 4 in.) bit player's name was Plimpleton, Pembleton...
