If anyone is interested in an entertaining book about Stanford cross country in the late 60s and early 70s, check out "Jock: A Memoir of the Counterculture" by Robert Coe who was a pretty good Stanford runner then. Among other things, I enjoyed reading about beloved distance coach Marshall Clark, who also coached HS locally around here for many years, and the contrast with head coach Payton Jordan, who was rigid and disliked. To be fair, the book is heavily about running but also weaves in campus life, the peace movement, student activism, etc., which I enjoyed reading about but maybe not everyone on here would. Amazon has a good description of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
