Buffalo had a knack for falling behind in a game so quickly, in fact, that their quarterback usually had to forgo giving Simpson the ball in favor of a desperation pass game. When O.J. did carry the football, blocking was so negligible that he was often gang-tackled before he hit the line of scrimmage. Averaging a so-so 642 yds. in his first three seasons, Simpson seemed destined to become one of the many college stars who fail to make it big in the pros...
...doctor and patient alike. The surgeon must work in a severely constricted area, use unwieldy instruments up to a foot long, and exercise extreme caution for fear of removing or damaging healthy-and irreplaceable-vocal tissue. The patient, who must usually endure considerable post-operative pain, often has to forgo even the satisfaction of complaining; any talking may irritate his throat and delay his recovery.

...with the Thieu government while the South Vietnamese President is still in power, which it had said that it would never do. In fact, the Communists even seem willing to let Thieu remain in office until the caretaker government is formed, again a retreat. And they have agreed to forgo a strictly tripartite government with precisely one-third representation guaranteed them...
