Despite the book's official sponsorship, it is not a political tract. The only Republican officeholder pictured is Massachusetts' present Governor, John A. Volpe. But besides presenting a new image, Bay State Republicans may have discovered an ingenious way of circumventing federal and state laws prohibiting corporation contributions to political parties. Massachusetts' attorney general, a Republican, conveniently ruled that corporations could purchase the book in quantity without violating corrupt-practice laws, which were tightened in 1966 by the Tax Adjustment Act to prevent companies from making contributions by buying advertisements for political fund-raising functions. Already...
...game was hardly super, but neither was the action as one-sided as the score seemed to show. "That Oakland is a good, well-coached team," said Green Bay Coach Vince Lombardi, after his N.F.L.-champion Packers drubbed the A.F.L.-champion Raiders 33-14 in last week's Super Bowl. Lombardi had no such kind words last year for the Kansas City team that the Packers defeated (35-10) in the first Super Bowl. Oakland was clearly a classier club. The Raiders tallied 16 first downs to Green Bay's 19 (one of which came on a penalty...
...Packers gave away age (two years per man), and at many positions they gave away vital speed. Their edge was experience. Their old pros overpowered the Raiders' youth and enthusiasm. Coolly and methodically, Green Bay ground the challengers down, capitalizing on Oakland's mistakes while making practically none of its own. Not once did Green Bay draw an offside or illegal motion penalty-while Oakland, baffled by the staggered cadence counts of Packer Quarterback Bart Starr, twice jumped the center snap. The Packers never fumbled; the Raiders did three times. The only interception came when Green Bay...
Even so, the game hinged less on what Oakland did wrong than on what Green Bay did surpassingly right. "Execution," according to Oakland Coach Johnny Rauch, was the key to the Packer victory. Quarterback Starr read the stunting Raider defenses as if he had written the book, completed 13 out of 24 passes behind impregnable blocking that virtually nullified Oakland's vaunted pass rush. Packer Tackle Bob Skoronski, assigned to hold off Oakland's mammoth (6 ft. 8 in., 280 lbs.) Defensive End Ben Davidson, did his job so well that Davidson only once all game...
...McGee, a star for twelve years. But the biggest conjecture of all concerned Coach Lombardi, who in nine years has turned the Packers from the patsies of the N.F.L. into the most successful team in pro football history. One report had Lombardi giving up coaching but retaining his Green Bay general manager's job; another had him heading a syndicate to buy the A.F.L.'s New York Jets; still another had him giving up football altogether. "I'm exhausted," was all Vince himself would say. "I just want to take a good, long rest and give Vince...
