...other words, a bore-as far as many college coaches are concerned. "The pros are more stereotyped," insists Tennessee's Doug Dickey, and Minnesota's Murray Warmath declares: "The pros have no imagination." There was certainly no shortage of imagination as the 1966 college season got under way last week. Southern California's Coach John McKay called for a fake punt on fourth down and with his team leading by only ten points. Any pro coach who made a call like that would probably spend the rest of his career selling peanuts in the stands, but McKay...
...TIME says Maine Democrats have fielded against Senator Smith "a little-known opponent" [July 1]. Democratic State Senator Elmer H. Violette-as chairman of the Special Legislative Power Study Committee, Interim Study Committee on Allagash, Citizens for Quoddy-Dickey Committee, and author or sponsor of the Fair Housing Act Criminal Procedure Reform Bill.

It was as if she had a compulsion to make the home front aware of the miseries and the glory of war, of the "eternal, incredible, appalling, macabre, irreverent, joyous gestures of love for life, made by the wounded...
...wars, which she covered for publications ranging from the Reader's Digest to LIFE to the National Geographic, Dickey never demanded any special treatment. Men did their best to keep her out of danger, but she always managed to find it. While covering the rebels in Algeria, she learned to subsist on a diet of half a dozen dates a day, to sleep on a rock, to urinate only once a day to prevent dehydration. She could do 50 pushups.
