...very first game, Hayes cut down New York Cornerback Dick Lynch with a vicious block. "I didn't know you could hit that hard," said Lynch. Bob replied: "Well, you're lyin' on the ground, ain't you?" Last week he got a typical rookie's razzing from Washington's Johnny Sample: every time he tried to block Sample, the defensive man would jump aside and slap Bob's plastic helmet with his palm...
...ways of thinking and being were as fluid and uncertain as the American frontier. Boorstin explores them in an erudite and eloquent essay on the American gift of gab.

But Livers has never beaten Lynch over the low hurdles, and it's notorious that Eastern runners improved their times on fast surface Western tracks. Lynch's best low hurdle time, for instance, was his 51.4, good for fifth place in last year's NCAA...
Last week the Supreme Court refused to review Dorado, despite California Attorney General Thomas C. Lynch's urgent appeal that "the convictions of thousands of dangerous criminals may be in jeopardy under this ruling." The court's refusal may well mean that it wants to see more evidence of Esco-bedo's effects before it makes a final decision, but it leaves police across the country unable to tell whether they should follow the "hard" approach of Hartgreaves or the "soft" approach of Dorado...
