...More than one coach has voiced a similar lament when going against the likes of Roger Thomas Staubach and Robert Allen Griese. Everything about the two sons of Aquarius has remained remarkably similar, all the way to the Super Bowl. Both were outstanding high school athletes, Staubach in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Griese in Evansville, Ind. Spurned by Notre Dame, Staubach went to the U.S. Naval Academy, Griese to Purdue. In 1962, in his first game against Army, Sophomore Staubach passed and ran circles around the heavily favored cadets to lead Navy to a stunning upset. The next year he became...
...Vital.-After complacently enjoying the Democrats in disarray, the Republicans now have an in-house problem of their own. John Ashbrook, a virtually unknown Congressman from Ohio, announced that he would challenge the President in New Hampshire and maybe in later primaries as well. Nixon, he complained, has deserted his conservatism.

Not until then will the public get a peek at the more than 250 letters that Warren Gamaliel Harding wrote between 1909 and 1920 to Mrs. Carrie Phillips, wife of a department store owner in Marion, Ohio. Harding Biographer Francis Russell discovered the correspondence in 1963, but Harding's heirs sued to block publication, and now it has been agreed to immure the letters in the Library of Congress for the next 42 years. By that time their impact may be mild indeed. "Compared to what...
Francis "Hooks" Burr is pulled out of retirement to lead a nationwide search committee to find a replacement for Director of Athletics Bob Watson. Simultaneously, President Bok announces establishment of a nationwide search committee to find Watson, last seen wandering aimlessly along Interstate 80 in Ohio in serach of a replacement for his left rear tire, which had fallen off without his knowledge somewhere in New Jersey. At right, the PRINCETON FOOTBALL TEAM holds up Watson's TIRE (2nd row, third from left) as the captain cackles, "We'll never give it back...
