...while playing on a heavily bandaged knee. Meyers has been bothered by the injured knee all week and yesterday he reported to the Health Services office to have fluid on the knee drained. If he fails to start today coach Bruce Munro will depend on senior Jun Sawhill to fill the vacancy...
...mission and debriefed after it. Base commanders take great pride in showing off their briefing rooms and their graphics departments, which turn out an unending stream of impressive audio-visual aids.

What makes his performance all the more bravura (and saves him nearly $100,000 a year in samples) is his ability to visualize some 80 different colors in his mind. Like do-it-yourself, fill-in-the-numbers paintings, his designs go off to the factory as line drawings spotted with the numbers of his private rainbow. Invariably, he is pleased with the result. Seeing his Argentine-woven rugs ($700 to $1,500 each) for the first time last week, he remarked simply: "I find...
