...players stand to benefit most from a goodline: Menick and Linden. Menick, who set schoolrecords with 1,267 yards rushing and 14 touchdownslast year, returns and will have to be theworkhorse again because Troy Jones cannot rotatewith him. Sophomore backup Chuck Nwokocha hasspeed and moves but has to show he can be durable...
...resentment. It might be poor, but it would still have all those nuclear weapons, which are enough to make everyone pay attention. Most U.S. experts believe the nukes are under tight control so far, yet there are doubters. While it's unlikely that a military commander would see any benefit in launching one, there are other possibilities. A rogue general might try some nuclear blackmail for a big payoff. Or a nuclear unit, unpaid for months, might decide to quietly sell off something for a profit. It wouldn't have to be one of the closely guarded strategic weapons either...
Program suppliers, on the other hand, reap most of the lucrative back-end revenue from selling syndicated reruns of hit network shows (the nets were forbidden by FCC rules to share in that pool until recently). And local stations have much higher profit margins because they can benefit from network hits, in the form of increased ad revenue, without having to share in the costs; the networks instead pay the stations "compensation" as an inducement to carry their programming. This has put the networks in a squeeze, as license fees for hit shows and major sports events have soared...

...riders, who were not involved in steroid use, were striking against the manhandling of themselves and their possessions by police goons who interrogated first and thought later, their actions were quite reasonable. And your reportage somehow neglected to mention that these "unsportsmanlike" riders nonetheless finished the course for the benefit of the many spectators who had turned out to see them. You owe the entire Tour de France an apology. MIKE W. BARR Canoga Park, Calif...
