...Murchison brothers and Neiman-Marcus, and multimillion-dollar transactions conducted in private jets that whisper swiftly through the silvery prairie night. Then there is the hardscrabble Texas, dusty and dun, which fans out westward from Fort Worth to towns like Dilley and Draw and Del Rio, where the good ole boys gather round gas-station coolers to drink RC Colas and tell lazy lies. It is a sullen land, worked by silent, leathery men and their resilient women...
...This Southwestern tribal ritual more closely resembles a vigorous bloodletting in the Circus Maximus than a friendly athletic contest. Instead of musky wine from handwrought goblets, though, the spectators knock down rye whisky from leather-bound flasks while the hot-blooded young gladiators, as they say down home, whup ole Billy outa one another. Turns out, for the first time in five years, it is Oklahoma that does the whupping. By day's end Texas has lost its first-and second-string quarterbacks, a linebacker, a tight end, the game (by a score of 48-27) and considerable face...
When Nixon took office in 1969, he made tentative contacts with the Chinese through the Norwegian embassy. Mr. Ole Aalgaard, Norwegian Ambassador to Peking at the time and now assistant delegate to the U.N., commented recently at a press seminar of the Committee for a New China Policy that the implications of the Nixon Doctrine intrigued Peking.

...green team (eight rookies in the starting lineup) against the experienced Los Angeles Rams, Manning kept the rugged Ram defense off guard with his fancy footwork and completed 16 passes, one for a touchdown. Then he closed the game in a style reminiscent of his Merriwellian history at Ole Miss: with one second left on the clock he dived over the Ram goal line to give the Saints a 24-20 victory. The following Sunday, San Francisco blitzed both of their outside linebackers in an effort to contain Manning, dumping him six times and bouncing him out of the first...
Going against the New Orleans Saints, a team that had stumbled to six straight losses in the exhibition season, Prothro's Rams figured to win in a walk. Instead, they were outrushed and outpassed by the inspired Saints. Rookie Quarterback Archie Manning, the flashy scrambler out of Ole Miss, scored on a keeper play at the gun to give New Orleans a 24-20 upset victory. The New York Giants, another winless team in the exhibition series, were even more disrespectful to Devine's Packers. After scoring on two Green Bay end-zone fumbles, the New Yorkers added...
