Observers have criticized Restic for his habit of giving one quarterback virtually all practice time with the offense between games. In preseason, it was almost all St. John. Then last week, all Buchanan. In fairness to Restic, though, he has had little choice. He has needed every minute of that time to get his inexperienced prospective starter to even a minimal level of preparedness...
...dispute grew about whether Carter had or had not meant to refer to Chappaquiddick, he sent Kennedy a handwritten note, which began: "I won't make a habit of this." That was a quip referring to sending letters to the Senator, rather than a promise not to say anything similar about leadership in the future.

We will close the nukes ourselves...
Falwell's habit of mixing religion with American chauvinism and military policy does not sit well with many born-again churchmen. Jimmy Allen of the First Baptist Church of San Antonio, Texas, and past president of the Southern Baptist Convention warns that allegiance with political organizations is dangerous for the church. Says he: "Jesus cannot be captured by any political or economic point of view." Falwell dismisses such criticism quickly: "The issue is survival. America must be turned around." As to his bellicosity, he remarks: "Jesus was not a pacifist. He was not a sissy...
