...Seventy-five thousand fans streamed across the Hackensack meadowlands like cattle crossing the sands of Dee to watch the Giants lose to the Cowboys in the stadium opener. But after 6,657 no-shows last Sunday and the worst whitewashing of the season against the Steelers, Giant owner Wellington Mara and director of player personnel Andy Robustelli decided to cut Arnsparger loose. Despite their 1-6 record, the Jets under new head coach Lou Holtz, who seems secure with a five-year pact, are showing none of the malaise that prompted the Giants' switchover...

Better known to the world simply as "Dom Helder," Brazil's famed voice of the poor and preacher of nonviolent revolution is a persistent nettle in the breeches of his country's military regime. At least eight of Dom Helder's associates have been arrested and tortured. He has been castigated as a "Fidel Castro in cassock" and disdainfully dubbed "the Red bishop." Lately he has been so judiciously ignored by Brazil...
