I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory... And why not? Victory is good for you, and don't let anybody tell you different.

In San Francisco - life goes on. Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain.

I wasn't trying to be an outlaw writer. I never heard of that term somebody else made it up. But we were all outside the law: Kerouac, Miller, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kesey I didn't have a gauge as to who was the worst outlaw. I just recognized allies: my people.
