...clear a path to the basket, they feed the ball back to Williams-whose one-hand ed jump shot from 15 ft. is among the most accurate "outside" shots in college basketball. So far this season, the whole Butler team is hitting the basket at a phenomenal 46% clip that has more than made up for defensive problems caused by Butler's lack of height. Says Notre Dame's Jordan: "Hinkle may not have the best material, but his kids always know what they are supposed...
...just isn't time to slow down before police radar has tracked the car's telltale blip. But at speeds in the lower 60s, the gadget is a fairly faithful watch-bird within 300 ft. of the radar installation. Radar Sentries are being turned out at a clip of 200 to 500 a day by Radatron, Inc. in North Tonawanda, N.Y.. and the company claims to have sold 25,000 Sentries in the last six months...
...William Edward Vaughan, a floor-pacing, pipe-cleaning, book-thumbing, paper-clip-twiddling fidgeter, is already something of an anachronism. Vaughan writes "paragraphs" for the Kansas City, Mo..

For Seattle, the experience was like that of the perennial wallflower who suddenly finds herself the belle of the ball. The town was mostly pleased, but partly dazed-and just a mite suspicious. There was dark talk about the girlie shows that are planned. Local businessmen...
Joanie's early career is like a clip from an old Judy Garland movie. She sang and sang-with the jukebox in the tavern where her mother worked, with the Venice (Calif.) High School dance band, with a harmony group for the Elks Club. Finally came the Big Audition-with Tommy Oliver's band at the Deauville country club in Santa Monica, and the Big Click. A demonstration disk played for Warner Bros. record company resulted in her first album, Positively the Most, a title artfully designed to rhyme with Drost. But Joanie had already decided the Drost...
