...executive vice president of American Motors. The founder of Rolling Stone and the managing editor of the Washington Post took part, as did two of the most conservative newspaper columnists in the U.S. Gloria Steinem and the Knicks' Bill Bradley were there, and so were a former Heisman Trophy winner, a Nobel Laureate, a Navajo tribal leader, nine college presidents, 15 mayors and Governors, 14 Congressmen and Senators, and scores of businessmen, teachers, lawyers and economists. The occasion: a two-day conference held in Washington by TIME on the subject of leadership...
...England's rise has been as stunning as it was swift. The Patriots had not enjoyed a winning season since 1966. After a dismal three wins and eleven losses last year, Quarterback Jim Plunkett-the 1970 Stanford Heisman Trophy winner who was supposed to parade the Patriots to glory-asked to be traded to a California team.

Dorsey, with 4.5-sec. speed in the 40-yd. dash, has impressed the scouts by catching 47 passes this season despite frequent triple coverage. Owens, whose older brother Steve was a Heisman Award-winning running back for Oklahoma six years ago, "doesn't have size or speed but makes the clutch catch." Even though Oklahoma won the Big Eight title this year with a minimum of passing, the scouts say another top wide receiver is Owens' teammate Billy Brooks...
...American wide receiver, last night was declared one of eight finalists for the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Offensive Senior of the Year award last night during halftime of the Maryland-Tennessee football game. Anthony Davis, the University of Southern California running back and runner-up in the Heisman Trophy competition, won the award...
