Wide receiver Morris—holder of nine Harvard all-time receiving records, now a member of the Miami Dolphins—will play for the expansion Cologne Centurians, and was already in Tampa for passing camp. The players will spend approximately three weeks training before heading overseas for sightseeing, revelry, and, oh yeah, football...

Her East Berlin neighbors may chafe under the drab dictatorship of the proletariat, but she believes. Then she suffers a severe heart attack and falls into a coma, regaining consciousness after eight months.

Loose of hip, his stomach thrust forward, he seemed to coax Ravel's rhapsodic wave out of his shoulders.
