Never, since it was founded in 1844 by free-will Baptists, has fiercely independent Hillsdale College in southern Michigan accepted a cent from the federal, state or local government. This fall, nonetheless, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare informed Hillsdale that even if only one of the college's 1,100 students receives a federal grant, the entire college is considered a "recipient institution." Hillsdale trustees were outraged; they called the federal regulations "immoral and illegal" violations of the school's "inalienable rights of freedom," and announced that the college would try to find legal ways...
...offices in Three Rivers Stadium when Joe Greene and Co., including back-up lineman Steve Furness, gather with Defensive Line Coach George Perles to go over movies of the previous Sunday's game. Screening a specially edited reel that covers only defensive play by Pittsburgh, Perles, 41, a former Michigan State tackle, shows his players their mistakes in a numbing montage of slow motion, stop-action and reverse-run images. On Wednesday, films of the next opponent come under scrutiny. The group focuses on the abilities of each offensive lineman: Has some bull-like youngster been developing deceptive moves...
...striving to maintain the momentum, retailers have one important factor working for them: consumer confidence, as measured by the University of Michigan's quarterly surveys, has rebounded from a 28-year low and is now as high as it was before the recession (see chart page 79).

...praised "a lifetime of dedicated public service matched by few Americans." Then, within a day, he sent a list of possible nominees for Douglas' seat to members of the American Bar Association Committee on the Federal Judiciary, along with a request for their advisory reaction. By one report Michigan Republican Senator Robert Griffin, 52, had an early edge. But there are other considerations. Betty Ford is among those who think it high time there was a woman on the court. And the so-called Jewish seat has been empty since Fortas' 1969 departure. Ford might look...
...biggest reason for their success is the play of Quarterback Fran Tarkenton, 35, now in his 15th pro season. Hampered last year by a sore arm-he was treated in the off-season by Dodger Relief Pitcher Mike Marshall, a graduate student and expert in body mechanics at Michigan State-Tarkenton has already thrown for 15 touchdowns. He leads the league with a completion mark of better than 60%. Indeed, Tarkenton, who has never been seriously injured, should soon become the leading passer in N.F.L. history. Only ten more TD throws will break John Unitas' lifetime high...
