...Eller (6 ft. 6 in., 255 Ibs.). Both are extremely quick and boast exceptional agility. Eller, who supplanted Green Bay's Willie Davis as All-Pro end last year, is one of the fastest men in the game for his size. Against the Packers, he caught Running Back Donny Anderson from behind on a power sweep to the opposite side of the field. Anderson was in the clear and might have gone all the way. But the startled back fumbled when Eller belted him, and another Viking defender recovered the loose ball...
...justifying their decision to fire Professor Davis, the regents reached all the way back to a 1940 resolution, reaffirmed in 1949, that bars Communist Party members from the faculty. Under Governor Ronald Reagan's leadership, they chose to overlook more recent rulings by both the California and U.S. Supreme Courts holding that mere membership in the Communist Party does not disqualify a professor from teaching in a state university; specific intent to carry out the party's unlawful aims must be shown.

At Colgate University, modernist thinkers so impressed the boy that he wrote his mother, "I am building another universe and leaving God out of it." But God was back in by the time Fosdick graduated from Colgate in the class of 1900. He entered Union Theological Seminary and in 1903 was ordained into the Baptist ministry...
...tape to roll, his personal barber smoothed his curls, and Pierre Cardin's New York general manager fitted him into a double-breasted custom jacket. Then, as he headed onstage, another aide added the final touch: he refilled the star's coffee mug. Even those in the back of the studio audience heard the clink of ice cubes in his cup. Iced coffee, an associate suggested, but surely the whole house knew damn well it was Johnnie Walker Red Label. As the clap board proclaimed, this was the Joe Namath Show, Take...
