Saving the Image. Finally, Pearson resorts to farce; he gets a subscriber's cat up a corporate pole. To lend a note of modish company and public policy to this event, the cat's owner is a woman of color who alleges discrimination in the company's indifference to her poled pet. Before this cat is rescued, corporate structure has changed, old Edwards is as mad as Lear, two linesmen have been killed, a small boy damaged, but the company image is saved...

Last week France's agricultural minister Edgar Pisani left a crucial meeting in disgust, admonishing Germany for its failure to bargain and once more repeating de Gaulle's ultimatum.

Teeth clenched, hands thrust deep into his overcoat pockets, he follows the ball up and down the field bellowing at his players, badgering officials, blatantly coaching from the sideline. Trying to lend moral assistance to a Bear field-goal attempt, he once booted a 240-lb. guard right off the bench. Another time, he curtly ordered a rookie:"Taylor, we've run out of time outs. Go in and get hurt." Even tougher with a buck, Halas has been known to wrestle...
