...back at the ole IAB, which was the onetime residence of Theodore Roosevelt, the women's basketball team will be dribbling against...
...changes so manifest this season began with Pete Orschiedt. "Petie," as the swimmers affectionately called him because of his age (he graduated from the University of Florida in 1970), could communicate with the team where Essick could not. He was the prototype 'good ole boy'; Southern, funny, and refreshingly frank--he once called Yale "a bunch of chickenshits...
...single film. They grow out of a lot movies and eventually turn them all into mere incidents in the larger and more absorbing drama of the star career. Consider Eastwood's moralistic killer, whose cold eyes are set off by his incongruously boyish voice and smile, or Reynolds' good-ole-boy con man, shooting from the lip as fast as Eastwood shoots from the hip.

The blue carpet in his White House office is decorated with a red mat emblazoned with his alma mater's mascot, a growling bulldog, and the slogan GO, YOU HAIRY DOGS. On a table is a phonograph for his four children-ages six, eight, ten and twelve -and Amy Carter...
