...tell the boys and their parents that Notre Dame has a great football tradition," he says, "but that we don't sacrifice academic standards to produce a winner. If a boy is very interested in studying, I may work the academic angle harder. I also tell them our campus has a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and you can't forget it is a school with a nationwide following." Where appropriate, he mentions Notre Dame's Roman Catholic underpinnings. Boulac, a gentle giant, helps his sell with a sincere, low-key delivery. When he needs help, he turns to distinguished...
Ironically, Notre Dame's power often works against Boulac. "The biggest thing we have to overcome," he says, "is that people think we've got a bunch of superathletes stacked up on the sidelines.

Dame Pliant (Andrea Stein) is a dumb blonde who turns out to be the prize for the rogue who out-cozens everyone, Lovewit (Will Englund), who returns from a vacation to appropriate everything Subtle and his partner Face (Charles Weinstein) have stolen. He is indulgently intelligent, the consummate...
