...against me are false." He then vowed to continue working the N.B.A. play-offs for NBC. In attendance were his four children, one of whom is also a sportscaster (New York Rangers play-by-play man Kenny Albert), as well as Marv's new fiance, independent television producer Heather Faulkner. As for Gifford, an ABC spokesman said, "We're not going to discuss Frank's private life." ABC may, however, want to discuss the 66-year-old former football star's future.

The Citadel fought a long and bitter battle against coeducation, with cadets sending up a great cheer of victory when Shannon Faulkner, the first female entrant, left campus in 1995 after only six days. And this entrenched attachment to its all-male traditions may have helped foster a belief on campus that hostility toward the new female knobs--as Citadel freshmen are called--would be tolerated, or at least overlooked, by the administration. For coeducation to work, more than a written plan was needed...
