...terrarium. At Christmas a wreath festooned with a rubber chicken hangs on the front door. Larson, clad usually in T shirt, jeans and running shoes, carries sketchbooks wherever he goes, doodling and jotting down phrases. But the hard labor takes place at the drawing board overlooking Union Bay, where he sits and stares, and stares and sits, until the ideas flow. "A strange juxtaposing of things takes place that I don't understand," says Larson. "It just happens." When it is not happening, he stops to strum his guitar; sometimes he works until 3 a.m. to meet a deadline...

General Manager Jerry Vainisi describes Flutie's Chicago earnings as "less than Fuller, more than Tomczak," who lately has done most of the playing.

...Pacific Fleet now squares off against a Soviet force that is the largest of Moscow's four naval units. From headquarters in Vladivostok, the Soviet Pacific Fleet covers a 1,200-mile maritime zone that stretches south from the Kamchatka Peninsula to Viet Nam's Cam Ranh Bay, the vast airfield-and-port complex developed by the U.S. during the Viet Nam War. The Soviet fleet includes two small aircraft carriers, twelve nuclear-armed cruisers and 180 combat aircraft. On any given day, 25 to 30 Soviet ships are docked at Cam Ranh Bay, just 870 nautical miles from...
