Well, _Greatest Hits_ was the first record I bought. Second was probably the
8-track of _An Evening with John Denver_. Next was Carole King's _Tapestry_ on
8-track. At times, I still hear snippets of the lyrics running through my head.
"In the end, up in his office,
in the end, a quiet cough,
was all he had to show he'd lived in New York City"
"How can people live in a world where tears are just a lullaby?"

"Whether as athletes we liked it or not, the 4-minute mile had become
rather like an Everest--a challenge to the human spirit, it was a barrier
that seemed to defy all attempts to break it--an irksome reminder that
man's striving might be in vain." --Roger Bannister
