Duke didn't quite fit the jock stereotype. Sure he wore sweats and a baseball cap all the time--the standard jock outfit (he soon stopped wearing the cap after Glenn started a rumor that it covered his bald spot). But Duke had a part-time job, spent more time studying than anyone I knew and went to bed no later than 12:30 a.m. on weeknights.

Former Tennessee Congressman Bill Boner argued successfully that a camper given to him by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association was not a gift because he used it on a fact-finding trip. Senator Orrin Hatch received a $7,500 gem-encrusted gold ring inscribed WITH LOVE FROM ALI after the Utah Republican introduced a bill to allow Muhammad Ali and others similarly situated to sue the Government over wrongful draft-evasion convictions.

Five years ago, Disney was an ailing movie midget coasting on revenue from its theme parks in Florida, Japan and Anaheim, Calif. Now it reigns as box-office champ. It also produces hit series like Golden Girls, boasts 9,000 rooms in its Florida hotels and plans to open Euro Disneyland outside Paris in 1992. And still Eisner eyes more robust expansion. Typhoon Lagoon, a 50-acre water theme park, premieres next month, followed shortly by a PG-rated night-life district called...
