Even after Duvalier had declared a 30-day state of siege and the armed forces put on a heavy display of power, the riots continued. At an early Mass at the St. Jean Bosco church in a poor district of the capital, a soldier shot and wounded the priest for no apparent reason. An enraged congregation spilled into the street and set off more protests. In other parts of town, militiamen fired into the crowds, while rioters smashed car and store windows, looted shops, and constructed roadblocks from tires and burning garbage. By week's end an estimated 26 people...

Every student (98% of the student body is Mormon, 67% of the football team) takes an oath to abstain...
...Cougars have led the country in passing seven of the past nine years. For all of their quarterbacks with professional skills-going back to Virgil Carter in the '60s-no receivers have been similarly distinguished. The Raiders' tight end Todd Christensen was a fullback at B.Y.U. Bosco says, "We don't get the top recruits, the fastest receivers, but the ones we get are smart. They do what they're told. They don't ad-lib." This season they have managed to catch his passes for 35 touchdowns and more than 4,000 yds., including...
