Washington is a strangely unified team of completely fragmented identities, unbearably cute. Tight ends included, the offensive linemen are the "Hogs," a brand name incorporated by Starke, who did not waste his Columbia education. The undersized receivers, notably 5-ft. 7-in. Alvin Garrett (cut thrice elsewhere), are the "Smurfs." Those who synchronize their celebrations in the end zone are the "Fun Bunch." After being strafed in a 48-47 loss at Green Bay, the defensive backs took to calling themselves "the Pearl Harbor Crew...
Angioplasty works best on patients with only one blocked artery, but fails when the deposits are too hard to be compressed or cannot be reached with the catheter. For such cases another technique may soon be available. Taking his inspiration from the laser swords in Star Wars, Cardiologist Garrett Lee, of the Western Heart Institute in San Francisco, has developed a catheter similar to the one used in angioplasty but with the addition of a pinpoint laser...
...wait. What about uptight Aurora and that raffish former astronaut, Garrett Breedlove (Jack Nicholson, giving a joyously comic display of just the kind of wrong stuff that appalls and attracts her)? Merely thinking over the possibilities he presents takes some comical time.

Thereupon a woman who once told an admirer not to worship her unless she deserved it plunges giddily into a relationship with a man she knows suffers that...
...there he was on the phone last week apologizing to the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Cosell's offense: during ABC's Monday-night broadcast of a football game between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys, he referred to Alvin Garrett, a black wide receiver for the Redskins, as "that little monkey." Cosell's remark "was a slip that reflected a thought," said an incensed Lowery. Cosell, who at first denied the comment, was less abject than adenoidal, even though his remark had lit up the network's switchboard with...
...person. From Florida and Texas, where jalapeno popcorn is hot, to the blizzard belt, where maple flavor warms the gullet, new retailers keep popping up across the U.S. There seems to be room for all. For instance, a dozen or more competitors have opened up around the two Garrett Pop Corn Shops in Chicago's Loop; even so, the 33-year-old Garrett's, which sells only butter, caramel, cheese and plain, has seen business treble in the past decade...
