Such maneuvering is a bit out of character for a school that talks football like the Ivy League but plays it like the Southwest Conference. (Penn State is, in fact, an independent.) Football has never been a mania at Penn State. Long before the N.C.A.A. this year clamped a 30-player annual limit on new recruits and a ceiling of 95 football scholarships overall, Paterno rarely recruited more than 25 players a year. By comparison, Oklahoma bestowed 40 to 50 scholarships a year before the new limits were imposed. Players point proudly to the absence of a jock aristocracy...
...stocking feet, Ann-Margret is a piece of cake for Bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, who weighs in at 215. In fact, both stars of Hal Needham's upcoming comedy western, The Villain, are trim and fit. Says Arnold: "Ann-Margret can run six miles without breathing hard." Only good form, of course, to hold the third bankable name in the cast up for praise, too. "Kirk Douglas is very muscular and lean and in great shape," judges Schwarzenegger.

...largely based on studies of single, rather than multiple, doses of the drug. Doctors prefer Darvon for some patients because, unlike aspirin, it does not cause gastrointestinal bleeding or lower the body temperature. Concludes Lilly's Dr. Robert Furman: "Used as directed, Darvon is really very safe. The fact that some people are intent on abusing it shouldn't be used to indict...
...only thing that could stop this song from reaching the charts would be Anna McGarrigle's voice, which is the high vibrato that elementary school music teachers and maiden aunts usually have. Luckily, Kate, who has a lower, richer voice, sings lead vocals in most numbers. In fact, she easily outdoes Linda Ronstadt in "Just Another Broken Heart," a real you've-gone-and-broke-my-heard-and-I-just-can't-live-without-you song. Suprisingly, Kate, who wrote Ronstadt's big hit, "Heart Like a Wheel," didn't write this one; David Nitchern did. And as well composed...
