After his views got him banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, Williams founded Rhode Island as a haven of toleration and freethinking. Gaustad's timely little book reminds us that those are the enduring foundations of American civilization...
...innovative football coach and winner of more games than anyone in the history of the American Football League (AFL); of complications from diabetes; in Covington, La. He took the Kansas City Chiefs to the first Super Bowl, where the upstart AFL champs were trounced by the mighty Green Bay Packers. Three years later, he led the Chiefs to an upset victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV, helping to cement the legitimacy of the fledgling...
