...would make a great war movie--Paul Newman is bidding for the rights--but Herbert does not intend to go the route of Audie Murphy. Throughout the telling of his own exploits and those of others, he explains the sources of the ills plaguing the Army. While no literary gem, Soldier makes fascinating reading: it is best seller material that seems sure to make Herbert's case known to a wide range of Americans.

That gem went for five yards. But, perhaps Murray's most celebrated kick came on a field goal attempt against Penn last week. In three games, he has his on one field goal in five attempts. The one success coming on a sand wedge from 11 yards out against Rutgers. Anyway...
