Roads to glory: dogs on ice, a third string end and robin hood
1968: tanks on the streets, dead on a balcony and Audie Murphy
Speed city: pineapple upside down cake, tutti frutti and Jack Daniels
Countdown to Mexico: lymphocytes, zip guns and ROTC
A boycott: Hells Angels, a petrified pig, and more Ralph Henry Barbou
A desperate innovation: rolls, straddles and an airborne seizure
The trials: spondylolsthesis, brush spikes, and a brutal stomping
Denver: the anarchists' convention, a vote for Nixon, a cold chill
Mexico City: thin air, fresh paint, and shots in the night
Opening ceremonies: flag dipping, a family feud and 6300 pigeons
And they're off: a grisly tableau, pinochle, and a guided missile launch
Protest: licorice hammers, tommie jets and black gloves
Harder and higher: the little stinker, beauty and the beast, and
Hollywood agents
Aftershocks: pimped out socks, a mutation performance, and sparks under
His feet
Monday: a grunion hunt, a crying tigerbelle, and a jig for joy
Week two: a cuddlesome junior, a ragtag bunch, and a blonde in a

Pappy's boys: rateros, various sarges, and a lucky picture of a pretty girl
Going home: boy scouts, psychedelic mileage, and a black bra.
