...Arizona Congressman Morris K. Udall, for one, feels that "people are becoming satiated with sports." Last March he introduced a bill to restrict the TV coverage of professional sports to specified seasons before "the public turns away from the sporting world in a wave of apathy and disgust." Udall's bill has about as much chance of passage as the California Golden Seals have of winning this year's Stanley Cup. Nonetheless, as the World Series spills over into the football, basketball and hockey seasons, team owners, players and fans alike might ponder the possibility of sports overkill...
...fancy Dan, Devine has kept the Packers in the fundamentalist Lombardi mold: solid defense and methodical, ball-control offense. A former quarterback at the University of Minnesota who married the school's homecoming queen, he began his head-coaching career at Arizona State in 1955; three years later he moved to Missouri, where he led the Tigers to twelve straight winning seasons and six bowl-game appearances.

She has every right to be proud for she's proven tough enough to survive the men who've picked her up and used her along the way--from New York to Los Angeles--even though she's hardly about to resist those who'll pick...
...Indian has taken an economic beating at the hands of the white man since that guileless tribe gave up Manhattan for $24 in trinkets. Now a band of enterprising Navajos in Arizona hopes to Indian-wrestle some of their ancestors' money back. The group plans to build a $10 million resort on the shores of Lake Powell featuring a full-scale gambling casino. They should mine plenty of yellow iron-if the Arizona authorities let them get away with...
