...last week's subzero winds at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, San Diego Quarterback Dan Fouts looked like a man trying to throw a nerf ball in mid-hurricane. The passes of the winning quarterback, Cincinnati's Kenny Anderson, were somehow strong and true. Said Bengal Linebacker Reggie Williams: "He has the mental toughness to be able to control the ball under those conditions. Fouts was not able to do that." Anderson put it differently, in his normal self-deflating prose: "I threw a lot of flutter balls and some end-over-enders. We were going to throw...
...compliment Ken Anderson and get away with it. Anderson, 32, hailed last week by a florid Cincinnati sportswriter as "Jack Armstrong come to life in a football uniform," is the classic aw-shucks hero, resolutely unquotable, eager to point out that he is merely one cog in the great Bengal machine.

U.S. Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisc.). who played for the Elis--also remembers his experiences in The Game and as an Ivy League athlete...
...India's northeastern state of Assam, there has been a year of student-ledagitation against "foreigners" in their midst, including Indians from the state of West Bengal as well as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The ongoing strife has paralyzed the state's oil industry, which supplies 12% of India's needs The student protest in Assam has been restrained by comparison with a savage outbreak of hatred against Bengalis in the neighboring state of Tripura; last June native tribespeople massacred more than 1,000 Bengali settlers...
