...soldiers now stationed in South Korea, only 160 are assigned to Panmunjom, while South Koreans patrol the rest of the DMZ. The American volunteers-specially chosen for their conspicuous brawn and even tempers-serve 13-month tours of duty at the "truce village" of Panmunjom, where 379 vituperous sessions of the Military Armistice Commission have regularly failed to accomplish anything. At a long wooden table that is half in the North Korean and half in the South Korean zone, North Korean and Chinese representatives argue fiercely with Americans representing the U.N. Command. Of the 35,000 truce violations charged...
Unlike Steve Austin, who regularly uses his brawn to brain villains, Jaime seldom uses her strength to do more than defensively trip or trick her opponents. ABC also seems to have decided that she can get along without a coherent plot. The typical show seems to be a collection of barely related episodes intended mainly to display Jaime's powers: she stops a rampaging elephant by tugging on its chain; uses her foot to brake an out-of-control car; leaps onto a second-story fire escape to avoid danger...

His game is built on quickness, conditioning and a savagely total concentration. Blessed with stamina, fast reflexes and a long-distance vision that allows him to read the ball's direction of flight the instant it leaves his opponent's racket, Connors will return shots others cannot reach...
...stroke; in East Lansing, Mich. When "the Big Man" was hired in 1947, M.S.U.'s team was foundering. In the first game that Biggie coached, his Spartans were obliterated 55-0 by scornful rivals from the University of Michigan. Munn rallied, recruited his "brawn trust" and trained them so skillfully that they won 54 games, lost only nine and tied two in his six years as coach...
