...Unity, said the liberal weekly Die Zeit, "rescued him." It also obscured all other issues. The theme of unification, says Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, head of the Allensbach polling institute, "was completely constant from the onset of the campaign, dominating it to the exclusion of any other everyday issue." The juggernaut rolled over Lafontaine...
...Giants juggernaut crush quicksilver Montana? He is still the best there is at escaping the pass rush until he can spot and hit a teammate downfield. Often his target is All-Pro wide receiver Jerry Rice, who led the league in mid-November in touchdown catches (11 in 10 games). The Giants can counter with the league's stingiest pass defense.

A grand jury may explore further links to Reagan and George Bush, and Poindexter could be called to testify with a grant of immunity. People who know the admiral well are convinced that the effort will come to naught, that history will have to judge Reagan -- where the buck really stops -- on the fuzzy story before us.
