...just had a twinkle in his eye," Shula says. In fact he has a twinkle all about him. He stands 6 ft. 3 in. but is made even taller by an eruption of sprung curls that overflow his football helmet in nervous homage to a bald father. Dan Marino Sr. drives a newspaper truck in Pittsburgh, and a charming tableau of their autumns at Pitt shows a man getting up at 3 every morning to deliver personally news of his boy in the Post-Gazette.

Bald eagles, which feasted on the marsh fish that flourished during the summer flood each year, declined catastrophically; their population is currently only 26% of its prechannel total.
