I abhor Bob Irsay, the man who moved the Colts to Indianapolis in the middle of the night. Nondescript, dull teams are out of the question. That means adios to Phoenix, Kansas City, and the Bays--Tampa and Green...

Afghans abhor foreign invaders, and now that the Soviet army has gone, Najibullah has begun harping on how much the rebels are run by Pakistan and the U.S. His case has been helped by recent news accounts that Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto had ordered Lieut.
