...Correspondent Ernie Pyle, it was "as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule and as agile as a goat." Like Pyle, millions of World War II G.I.s learned to love the general-purpose vehicle, or Jeep, and when it made its civilian debut in 1945, it eventually rolled up the longest run for any model in U.S. automotive history. While it pioneered the booming market in four- wheel-drive vehicles, however, sales of the CJ (for civilian) Jeep dropped from 79,000 in 1978 to an expected 36,000 this year. Next month taps will sound...
...first point made is that Rob Steinberg "turned from goat to hero last week." This statement is not fair. While the William & Mary game was not a good one, a missed extra point and a 36 yd. punting average on a windy and rainy day does not make one a goat. The special teams--which include the line, the center, the holder, as well as the kicker--had a bad game. Similarly, the special teams had a good game against Cornell. This is an important distinction which President Zucker has consistently failed to make...

His placekicking and kickoffs have been consistently strong, but his punting has been atrocious in spots. Steinberg needs to improve his punting form to become an offensive threat. Even KICKING GAME: Placekicker Craig Saltzgaber has one of the strongest legs...
Jake Hayes took the top prize with a tale about a snake he killed and skinned to make a belt. It turned out the snake had swallowed 13 eggs, eleven chickens, nine guineas and a billy goat. For some reason, most of the stories seemed to be about things that had swallowed things. This line of thought seemed much appreciated, especially by children, who listened slack-jawed, accepting the fictional terrors of nature as gospel...
...middle term between Wagner and the plotless, junk-crammed happenings that were the talk of the New York art world in the early '60s. The more one sees of Schwitters, the more Robert Rauschenberg's and Jasper Johns' work in the '50s seems to owe to him: the stuffed goat, the paint-soaked bed, the light bulb, the pathetic coat hanger were all predicted in Germany 30 years before...
