...first coaching job as an assistant at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, Calif., in 1960. His idiosyncratic coaching style there and later as head coach at San Diego State made him popular among his players and gained the attention of another individualist: Al Davis, the cantankerous owner of the Oakland Raiders. Madden served as Raiders head coach from 1969-1978, during which the Raiders never had a losing season, won their division seven times and the Super Bowl in 1977.

South America's poorest nation seemed on the verge of a civil war last year between forces loyal to President Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous head of state, and those aligned with the country's white elite.
