...Shula, and San Francisco's brainy Bill Walsh will be secondary figures Sunday at a new stop, old Stanford Stadium. This is the sophomore Marino's Super Bowl essentially, since Six-Year-Man Montana had one three years ago all his own, a special season that Defensive Coach Chuck Studley has particular cause to review. "In my opinion," says Studley, formerly of the 49ers, currently of the Dolphins, "Montana is the master of the big play. Every time we needed it, 20 eyeballs would turn and look at Joe, and he'd get 10 ft. tall. He was always that...
...ground, and another 100 or so who are busy getting giddy or truculent through the magic of booze. Under the circumstances, which is better: a calming smile or a conventional dose of feminist grimness? Wanda: Pilots don't have to chuckle when they give one of those reassuring Chuck Yeager speeches saying that there's nothing to worry about even though the plane has no landing wheels. Females are assigned the social role of grinning all the time, Ralph. It's one way men keep women in their place. Vivian Gornick talks about "that damned dazzling smile," and Social Psychologist...
...them under immense stress. Indeed, it is so unstable that no pilot can react fast enough to keep it from dropping out of the sky. Yet the X-29A flew precisely as planned last Friday in its first test flight from California's Edwards Air Force Base. Pilot Chuck Sewell kept the X-29A aloft at 15,000 ft. for nearly an hour, maintaining a relatively slow speed of 270 m.p.h.

...invited. He is the first extraterrestrial to visit our planet in response to a summons from the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which since 1977 has careered through the heavens carrying recorded greetings in 55 languages and a few alltime Top 40 tunes by such as Bach, Beethoven and Chuck Berry. Problem is, this Starman (Jeff Bridges) didn't R.S.V.P. Without so much as a by-your-leave, he has crash-landed in Wisconsin and now has three days to get to Arizona, where the mother ship will pick him up, like Junior after the sock hop, and take him home...
Rickie Lee Jones: The Magazine (Warner Bros.). Rickie Lee Jones was unique and wholly left field even when she had a surprise hit, Chuck E.'s in Love, from her debut album back in 1979. She sounded like a saloon singer with Listerine in her shot glass and wrote songs that came off like juke joint Kerouac. This is only her third full album, and she seems bent on proving, quite unnecessarily, what she has already established: she is the most enterprising woman writer making records today. The Magazine, a spiraling cycle of songs organized around themes of loneliness...
