...only the third fastest man on the team. The four backs, between them, have accounted for 25 touchdowns. It is the best college football team in the U.S.-but it exists only on paper. All season long, perched in some remote corner of the stadium, immune to the blare of the band and the frenzy of the fans, the professional football scout sits with notebook and binoculars, looking for tomorrow's men among today's boys. Last week, as they prepared to back their choices with cash (and lots of it) in the annual players draft, the scouts...
Buddhist monks and nuns in Hong Kong last week chanted prayers to the pulsating tick-tock of sticks beating on fish-shaped wooden blocks. Throngs of Chinese paraded through downtown streets carrying huge paper dragons representing the rain god, and the blare of drums, gongs and cymbals exhorted the heavens to send rain.

...blare of military bands and the skirl of bagpipes, a troopship last week steamed into Egypt's sweltering Sinai port of Tor.

He stencils them onto the canvas by the silk-screen process, then touches in the colors. Though the result can be excruciatingly monotonous, the apparently senseless repetition does have the jangling effect...
Biblical soap opera it may be, but Claudia's Letter is boffo in the California city of Pomona. This week, so the city fathers have decreed, the record will blare each noontime from loudspeakers along Pomona's new nine-block downtown mall. At least 15 Pomona churches plan to use it during Holy Week and Easter services, and some clergymen are treating it like a new Gospel. "It has a tremendous wallop and it just wrings you out," says Dr. Edward Cole of the First Baptist Church. "The first time I heard...
