Because so much grim business is conducted in this city during the week, Redskin losses on Sunday are ominous events. On Moseley's right leg sways the mood of the Government. Last week, when Moseley broke Garo Yepremian's record of 20 straight field goals, Senators Paul Laxalt and John Warner hurried from the game after the first quarter to vote to keep the Republic going, but were back for the finish. Moseley's third field goal of the day with four seconds left beat the New York Giants, 15-14, and made the record...
German, Mexican, Polish and Norwegian sidewinders proliferated in the pros in the 1960s and '70s until Americans got the knack. In 1966 Cypriot Garo Yepremian's brother wrote to tell him about the land of milk and honey, and the soccer-style pioneer, Hungarian Pete Gogolak.

August, Bridget, Garo, Tiffany and Co. range in age from five to eleven, and they are learning dining etiquette. By teaching proper behavior to children all over the country, Stewart says, she is helping bring about a revolution. "We are emerging from the rude, rebellious period," maintains Stewart, who in voluminous hot-pink chiffon gown and Margaret Thatcher coiffure is something of a period...
...outcome of the game is etched indelibly on my mind. The final score was Dolphins 14, Washington 7, and the Redskins' only score had come only after Dolphin kicker Garo Yepremian had tried to pass after a foiled kick, and the ball had bounced crazily off some helmets, and had somehow been maneuvered into the Redskin end zone for a touchdown...
