...more unlikely national figure than John Madden, the animated elephant who used to coach the Oakland Raiders and now instructs the country in its most bewildering sport? Though he won more than 100 National Football League games in only ten years and directed his team to a Super Bowl victory in 1977, Madden was obscured in Oakland by autocratic Owner Al Davis...
...Gary Hart looked tired but pleased with himself. He had found private life for seven months unbearable, he said. Now he felt whole again. Nearby, his wife and son sat with half a dozen political volunteers. Hart leaned over the table to spoon some chicken noodle soup from a bowl...
