Admitting with a grin that he expected neither the West nor the Soviet Union to disarm completely, he added, "A seductive slogan is the most powerful political instrument. The Americans don't understand that. They only hurt themselves in struggling against the idea of general and complete disarmament. What they are doing is as futile as Don Quixote's fighting the windmills." Propaganda and true negotiations, he said, should be not contradictory but complementary...
...move of the chess match. Though a botched kickoff return started San Francisco off on its own 6-yd. line, Walsh declined to deviate from his script of plays. When Freddie Solomon dropped pass No. 1 in the dangerous flat, Montana accepted him back in the huddle with a grin. Throwing for 331 yds. and three touchdowns, running for 59 yds. and a 6-yd. score, Montana experienced "the kind of day that quarterbacks dream about," as Shula put it.

More typical is the comment he made last week when his wife presented him with a congratulatory schnauzer named Leader. Deadpanned Dole: "It's an indication of where my leadership is going.

...these past few weeks and what did you see? A cinemascopic shot of a bunting-bedecked stage set between sunny crowds and smiling skies. Then a closeup of Ronald Reagan, standing against a blue backdrop (always blue) and delivering in patented style (bob of the head, hint of a grin) a homey Americanism. Cut to the faces of his listeners, some aglow in admiration, others damp with tears. A band bursts into melody, balloons sail heavenward, and cheers erupt from a thousand throats...
