Innumerable Eliot threats were nipped by fumbles or interceptions, and finally. Branford's ground game began to click. Quarterback John Ashcroft, who led the drives, plunged over from the three-yard line for the score after being hit in his own backfield. Halfback Doc Marshall slanted off tackle for the crucial two-point conversion and Topkins' last minute passes proved useless...
...main reason for Indiana's dominance is Coach James ("Doc") Counsilman, 42, a paunchy, deceptively placid-looking thinker who sums up his approach to training in three jarring words: "hurt, pain, agony." Pushing toward "the ultimate in stress without physical damage," he puts swimmers through hard pool workouts seven days a week, plus calisthenics and isometric exercises. Under the "interval" method that Counsilman follows, swimmers sprint 50 meters and pause for 25 seconds, keeping that up through 40 sprints. He drives himself hard, too, often working a 5 a.m.-to-midnight day. "Hurt, pain, agony swimmers," he says, "need...

Last April four of Duvalier's bodyguards were shot down while escorting two of the dictators children to school. The children were unharmed, but the message was clear. Just target practice, wrote Barbot in a letter to Papa Doc. A few weeks later, Barbot's men pounced on schoolhouses where peasants had been herded in like cattle, waiting to shout Vive Papa Doc at a government rally. Seven were killed-and word of the terror started to shake Duvalier's regime. Duvalier sent militia patrols to comb Port-au-Prince's festering slums. But Barbot laid...
