Here's a bit of footage I found on Youtube in the meantime...

Skip to about 6 minutes to see the finish.

Wow, thanks BB, what a superb piece of film. I enjoyed the experience of watching that particular race enormously, for reasons I've been writing about. And I think I may have finally seen the angle I've been searching for. I'll watch that again.

Dick Beardsley is an interesting guy -- I met him briefly at the Boston expo, and went to hear him speak. On that great 1982 race, 'the Duel in the Sun': "We ran that first mile in four minutes thirty three", he explained. "After that, I was hanging on. When you feel yourself hanging on with more than twenty five miles to go, then you know you're in trouble. It was a marathon that came down to a final one hundred yard sprint. I lost a twenty six mile race by 1.6 seconds".
