At length, when the scanner was again approaching this heading, the puzzled controllers pushed the computer's "speak" button.

He dances, skates, jumps rope, hunches like a vulture but above all likes to lie flat on his back on the top of his doghouse awaiting supper -which sometimes includes a dish of sherbet on the side.

Modeled after the dish-shaped radar used on airport control towers, the devices are around 5 ft. tall and are highly sensitive to movements by troops...
...merely the best running back in the history of football. They had Quarterback Frank Ryan, who threw 25 touchdown passes this year. But they also had the N.F.L.'s leakiest defense, by the margin of 237 yds. and 20 first downs. The experts figured that was a dainty dish to set before the Western Champion Colts, with the strongest offense (428 points) and the stingiest defense (225 points) in pro football. What's more, the East had won only one N.F.L. title in the last seven years. At game time, the oddsmakers favored Baltimore by seven points...
