That Reagan beat such a man is a feat of circumstances as much as of personal strength. Right-wingers like to crow that the country veered sharply to the right when it turned to Reagan, but the probable truth of the matter is that most of the country had simply stepped firmly to the right of center. As conservatives sensed, the country had been an incubative conservative since the late '60s. Only Nixon's muck-up could have delayed their eventual birth and triumph.

Says Auburn Coach Doug Barfield: "We have to sell the concept of having a chance to beat him." Bryant regularly gets the sons of former players: John David Crow Jr., for instance, was a running back three seasons ago. And occasionally Bryant steps in to save the day, and a prospect.
