Professionally, the saddest men in sports are U.S. football coaches, and among them none can match Notre Dame's tearful Frank Leahy. Each fall, his gloomy Gaelic laments hang over South Bend, Ind. like a thick and salty fog. This year, Notre Dame, with 20 battle-tested regulars on hand, looked its strongest since 1949, was ranked as the nation's No. 1 team in preseason polls. But Leahy was miserable.

Near Billings, I heard a recorded anti-G.O.P. speech by Senator Jim Murray in use as a radio commercial by a retail outlet as a sales pitch to farmers to buy portable...
...which half-proudly, half-wistfully called its readers' attention to the fact that it had passed up the "most sensational news story in the history of journalism." The stately Philadelphia Bulletin had a worse case of split personality. It had signed the agreement, sent a reporter to Bloomington, Ind. to get the Kinsey report story, and had his 3,300-word summary written. But it finally killed the story with this rueful notice to readers: "It is impossible to present any adequate summary of the findings without giving unnecessary offense to many in [our] large family of readers...
