Putting things back in perspective, the Steelers are not all washed up yet; they still have a very distant shot at the American Football Conference division wild card berth, and furthermore, Pittsburgh will certainly survive the blow if they do fold. On the street you can already hear people talking about next year's game schedule, whom the Steelers might get in the draft, who will retire and who will be traded. You can hear plenty of personal analyses of the Steeler-Houston game, too--everybody's got their own version...
...first 100-yd. free-style ever in collegiate dual meet competition. He finished third just behind Corbisiero and winner Eric Schott, and just ahead of C.J. Appleton, thus ruining Columbia's only chance of the afternoon for a one-two-three finish.

Within two weeks after he became anchorman on Oct. 27, Morning's ratings jumped from 2.5 to 3.5, an increase of 40%. Robert Northshield, the show's senior executive producer, is convinced that the amiable Kuralt, 46, who won millions of fans over the past 13 years for his evening news "On the Road" travels, will push them still higher. He says, "If anyone can raise the ratings, Charlie...
...collected letters-here rounded off in the last of six stout volumes that have been coming out since 1975-she scarcely ever troubles to paint a scene or describe great events; even wars are kept to the background: "I write with the usual air raid going on; distant droning; a bomb now and then...
