Offensively, Brown boasts three threats. Should Q.B. Bob Bateman, 6'5" and 195 lbs. sixth nationally in total offense and eighth in passing, connect with Bob Farnman, the country's leader in pass receptions, the results could be devastating for the Crimson...
...headed by U.S. Attorney James Browning, met in San Francisco. Browning's federal case will probably take precedence. But even after the trials already in the works are over, Patty's long day in court may not have ended. Agents and detectives are investigating evidence that may connect her, as well as her Symbionese Liberation Army companions, William and Emily Harris, to two more bank robberies, one at the Guild Savings & Loan Association in Sacramento on Feb. 25 and the other at the Crocker National Bank near Sacramento on April 21.

Much of the undercurrent of ebb and flow was achieved by Altman's technique of using multiple-track microphones, so an audience could hear half a dozen conversations in a poker palace at once, or hear someone out in the half as easily as the person at the next...
