...Harvard Business School is a conservative campus enclave where students still wear three-piece suits. There, Graduate Student Daniel Graham, 25, keeps a green beret in his desk as a reminder of his Viet Nam service as a Special Forces lieutenant-service that won him a Bronze Star. At his home in Atlanta, he has a photo of a Viet Cong he killed in face-to-face combat. Explains Graham: "I didn't want to die. I figured the best way not to was to become a good soldier.

...Graham is an enthusiastic supporter of M-day. "Now I feel guilty for going over there," he says. "I feel ashamed." Solemn and softspoken, Graham traces his transformation to his experiences with South Vietnamese soldiers. For a time, he was in charge of ensuring that each of some 400 of them was properly paid; before that, the payroll had been given directly to a Vietnamese lieutenant and some of it seemed to go astray.

Named the outstanding player in the college All-Star game, Cook has directed the Bengals' attack with the poise of a polished veteran. In the San Diego game, he completed 14 of 22 passes for 292 yds., tossed for three touchdowns, and ran for the fourth himself as Cincinnati routed the Chargers, 34-20. Against powerful Kansas City last week, he fired a 73-yd. scoring pass to Eric Crabtree...
