...Pastorini of Santa Clara College, a bullet thrower who also excels at punting and place-kicking. Then came the surprises. After a brilliant season, Notre Dame Quarterback Joe Theismann languished until the fourth round before going to the Miami Dolphins; at 6 ft., 170 lbs., he may seem a mite slight to the pros. Far ahead of him were a dozen or more "sleepers"-little-known players from little-known schools that the scouts have been keeping a secret eye on. The St. Louis Cardinals bypassed several more-established stars to grab Norm Thompson as their first-round choice...
Murphy would have it no other way. "I'm happy being five nine," he says. "I've lived short all this time, I don't know whether I could handle it if I got tall." Besides, he says, there are advantages to being a mite among monsters. "When I'm on the court, people recognize me. Off the court, I blend into the crowd. Just being yourself is awfully nice...
...Vonnegut's forte, and the jawbone is his only weapon. Fortunately, it seems to be the funniest bone in his body. His sense of the absurdity of existence is quite antic and acute, though prevailingly collegiate, as epitomized in his title which features an innocent and irrelevant mite, Wanda June (Ariane Munker), who has been translated into heaven by a homicidal ice cream truck.

...Laurence Olivier, has chosen to open its first U.S. engagement, a six-week run at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theater during which the company will also do Chekhov's Three Sisters. Stratagem is a slightly odd choice in that a mighty ensemble of actors is laboring over a mite of a classic. It is rather like the winner of the Grand National demonstrating how to clear a two-foot hedge. Naturally, this superb company does it with grace, stamina and abundant verve, but one is forced to admire the skill rather than the purpose...
Because the mite abhors light, it remains burrowed beneath the surface of the skin during daytime, venturing forth only in the darkness. Thus, it cannot be detected even by careful scrutiny in front of a mirror. During its two-week life span, Demodex grows up, breeds and dies in the oily pores on the eyelid and elsewhere on man's face without attracting attention. It makes its presence known only when something upsets the ecological balance of the face, encouraging the mites to overpopulate. Then they cause swelling in an eyelash pore, or spread bacterial infections into adjacent follicles...
