Although kaufmann does not knock anyone over at 5'9" and 165 pounds, his linemates both tip the scales at 190-plus, and their forechecking was effective...

Desert Warrior Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, became America's most saluted soldier as he guided the swift deployment of 280,000 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia. His tough-guy image and smooth deskside manner have pundits speculating that Powell would be the perfect running mate for Bush...
