While accounts of the lucrative salaries abound, few of these examine the background of the issue or consider the possible justification for such remunerations. The issue, of course, is the reserve clause, a term that has been bandied about on the sports pages with nearly the same frequency as Watergate has on the news pages. Similar to the name of that famous Washington building, the phrase "reserve clause" has been so overshadowed by subsequent events that no one remembers its actual meaning...
...FASSBINDER fails ideologically, he redeems himself through exciting visual effects. It is easy to point out influences in this respect: he places characters in their social setting with the exactitude of Sirk, revelling in the banal and vulgar in terms of taste (flowered wallpaper and knick knacks abound in Mother K.'s apartment); he makes Brechtian use of awkward camera positioning to alienate, shooting not from within the action, but as an observer so that his audience will be responsible for creating its own realism; like Godard, he favors a fade-out to black between shots, allowing his viewer...

Traditional powerhouses such as U.C.L.A., North Carolina and Kentucky made the top 20, but so did newcomers Detroit, North Carolina-Charlotte, Utah and Arkansas. Back in the fold are such born-agains...
Collegiate sports, primarily football, receive at least as much attention from the wagerers as their professional counterparts, and maybe more. For whereas there are relatively few teams in the NFL and NBA, collegiate conferences abound, offering a virtual gold mine to obsessed bettors...
