...worry is that the whole climate of Europe will change," says Adrian Luckman, senior lecturer in geography at the University of Wales, Swansea. "We in the U.K. are on the same latitude as Alaska. The reason we can live here is the Gulf Stream...

Lions coach Bob Shoop finally settled the quarterback controversy by picking sophomore Craig Hormann over co-captain Joe Winters. Sadly, neither was named Sid Luckman, because that’s what it would have taken to make the offense even remotely respectable...
