...doesn't matter where women start out," says Charlotte Stewart, 49, coordinator of the Dallas-area centers. "After a divorce, they all end up in the same place. Down." Studies and statistics bear her out. The University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research found that after divorce "the economic status of former husbands improves, while that of former wives deteriorates." Only 2% of all divorced women with children receive more than $5,000 a year in support. Only 14% of divorce settlements include any alimony, and only 44% award child support-but less than half of either...
There are no reliable witnesses left, as is usually the case with the stuff of legends, so no one really knows how young Paul William Bryant fared against that carny bear in Fordyce, Ark. Some say he lasted the $5 limit, at a dollar per minute, and collected his money; others insist that the scrawny old beast tossed the local boy off the stage of the Lyric Theater in short order. Bryant claims he has the scars to prove he was there, but the only thing that really matters is that the episode gave the boy a nickname to grow...
This fierce football domain is Bear Bryant's briar patch. He was born and raised in it, coming out of Moro Bottom, Ark., with one good pair of shoes to play for the University of Alabama in the mid-'30s. He was the other end on the team that beat Stanford in the 1935 Rose Bowl, doing the blocking while All-America Don Hutson set records for pass catching. He wanted to coach, naturally, and worked his way up to Maryland and then gave Kentucky its only Southeastern Conference title-and an N.C.A.A. probation for recruiting violations...
Finally, in 1958, the Bear came home to Alabama, the butt of too many Sunday-morning jokes after four straight losing years. Nobody has laughed very much at Alabama's expense since then. This New Year's Day No. 2-ranked Alabama plays in its 20th consecutive bowl game. The match-up against top-ranked Penn State will decide the national championship, and if Alabama wins, it will be the fifth title of Bryant's reign. It will also mark Victory No. 284 for Bryant, 30 fewer than the alltime record held by Amos Alonzo Stagg...
...heart she is true to Kermit. "She loves that little frog. She wants her frog and her career. She's torn, like everyone else." Oz is conceded to be, after Henson, the most gifted of the Muppet performers. He taught Miss Piggy all she knows, and he plays Fozzie Bear, Animal, Sam the pompous American Eagle and, on Sesame Street, Bert and Cookie Monster. Holding his naked right hand in the air, Oz demonstrates the basics of Muppet acting. "You can do proud": his hand sways and struts upward. "Sad": the hand, with its closed fingers forward, as a Muppet...
