...absence of a standard "look" from play to play renders the Multiflex difficult to define or even see on a given play, but the myriad variety of combinations is the whole point: Restic will borrow sets or even entire plays from a veer, or Wishbone or Power I offenses, but will never stay with one formation long enough to allow the defense to know what to expect. As he talks about it, Restic grows animated, actually improvising a play-by-play analysis of the havoc wreaked on a defense: "The ball's coming, they don't know where...

"If the Faculty has a proposal that makes good economic sense it will pass," Scott...
...Chinese are being encouraged to study hard and think boldly. Yet if a worker goes to a library in a big city to borrow a book about art, he will in most cases be told that art books are available only for members of the official artists' societies. If a university or research institute wishes to order some books or magazines from abroad, it is not permitted to do so directly but must submit the request to higher authority for approval...
