Indeed, the only information available about the fertilizer comes from its manufacturer. According to Herschel Elliott, an agricultural engineer at Penn State University, data released so far inadequately address organic pollutants, in which case, he says, "we should look for mutagenic and carcinogenic effects." Elliott notes that the studies show near unsafe levels of molybdenum. Such heavy metals can cause birth defects...
...most prominent National Football League rookies -- Dallas Runner Herschel Walker and Buffalo Quarterback Jim Kelly -- have come from a kind of minor league, the dormant U.S.F.L. The preeminent college football player of 1985 -- Auburn's "Bo" Jackson -- has gone to baseball. If the football scouts are right about Jackson's being a "bigger and stronger O.J. Simpson," and the baseball scouts are right about his "Mantle-like speed and power" and "Clemente-like throwing arm," then both sports have been significantly affected by the small events of an Alabama childhood that led to this unlikely choice...
...Herschel Walker, 24, star running back for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League and until now the highest-paid player in pro football at $1.5 million a year.

Even before the official announcement from the league, most attention was focused on the status of superstars like Herschel Walker, whose addition to N.F.L. rosters could turn some teams into title contenders. The Generals' owner, Donald Trump, was quick to give well-publicized permission to Walker to begin talks with the Dallas Cowboys. "While I have a legal right to their services, I don't think I have a moral right to stand in the way of their careers," Trump said. With a guaranteed commitment, season or no season, reportedly of $1.5 million to Walker alone, Trump may have more...
...while, the new league looked like a fair bet. Franchises were a bargain: $2 million to $5 million a city, vs. $70 million in the N.F.L. True, blue-chip players did not come cheap. Trump, the owner of the New Jersey Generals, paid $5 million for Georgia Running Back Herschel Walker and $8 million for Boston College Quarterback Doug Flutie. Still, much of the money could be written off against profits from the owner's other investments. Besides, a bidding war served to run up the other league's costs while siphoning off talent...
