Fortnight ago, as Lewin lolled in his penthouse in natty dark blue sports shirt and slacks, NBI agents burst in to haul him off to jail. He thought he could get out on bail easily-"Goddamit," roared Lewin through the cell door, "don't let me sleep here tonight"-but Lukban saw to it that Lewin spent the night in his cell. Next morning, as the fur began to fly. Garcia's Secretary of Justice Alejo Mabanag announced that NBI Chief Lukban would be fired "for the good of the service," and Lewin, free on bail, sped away...
...Does he run the company?" asks a Continental executive. "I'll say he does. Not just 100% - about 106%." Clay has a photographic memory that enables him to keep track of minute details, often confounds others with his knowledge. He is a relentlessly driving executive who needs little sleep, maintains iron discipline, is never wholly satisfied with the performance of his subordinates (all of whom address him as "general").

Coach Taylor need not have lost any sleep. Next night against Memphis State, Lucas was a spring-legged hotshot. In one span of 77 sec., he scored 8 points (2 tap-ins, 4 foul shots), finished with 34 points in his team's 94-55 victory.
