...such a great player but because he’s such a tough, charismatic character on the field on game day,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. “On the other hand, off the field he’s one of our quietest, humblest, laid-back kids. He’s truly a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality when it comes to football...
Like a storybook character, the humblest wild-card team followed the thorniest of al1 the play-off routes, a treacherous path that wound through New Jersey (the Jets) and Los Angeles (the Raiders) before coming out at Miami's impregnable Orange Bowl.

That's an impossible dream for most people. Ted Fotos Tokyo...
...gardens as much as to be beautiful in their own right. Here, Yoshimasa and a group of like-minded aesthetes would meet to compose poetry and perform that most quintessentially Japanese of arts, the tea ceremony. (Today, any object of the tea ritual from that time, even the humblest bamboo ladle, fetches a fabulous sum at auction if an association with Yoshimasa can be established.) An accomplished poet and great patron of Noh theater, Yoshimasa explored every artistic field known in his day and even created a few: he played a crucial role in the emerging art of flower arrangement...
