...took his car. Minutes later Mullins appeared at a restaurant, where he assaulted a woman and ran off with her purse. At a nearby street corner he picked up a young woman, later described by police as a prostitute, and raped her in a park. When a passer-by surprised him, Mullins retreated to the car with his victim; both were nude. Speeding off, he rammed a car. The woman ran for safety; Mullins, pausing only to pull on his underwear, gave chase. By then the police were on the scene. But Mullins was not through yet: in the final...

Fouts has become the game's most versatile passer. Throwing to Running Backs Lydell Mitchell and Clarence Williams, he lofts a soft pass over the fingertips of onrushing linemen. He can drill the ball to Tight End Bob Klein through a microscropic seam in the secondary. Wide Receivers John Jefferson, who sat a rookie record last season with 1,001 yds. gained on 56 receptions, and Charlie Joiner benefit from Fouts' good timing and light touch to catch enough passes to rank among the top five receivers in the A.F.C. this year.

Passing game is a problem, St. John is not a strong-armed quarterback; and Keyte, a powerful baseball pitcher, remains untested as a passer. No real long threat. Offensive line Five returning lettermen led by '78 starters Dave Scheper (center) and Mike Durgin (tackle), both powerful and experience. Captain Mike Brown should do well at a guard spot. Besides Durgin, line is not very big. Eric Spiegel should figure in at a tackle spot...

Today's bank robber usually is a male in his 20s who is unemployed and often has a drug problem. He tends to be a note passer who acts on the spur of the moment, then takes the money and runs. One Minneapolis robber collapsed on the street after sprinting from the bank with his take. Last week a laid-back San Francisco bandit robbed from one teller, then moved on to the new accounts desk, where he was arrested after trying to open a savings account. In Savannah, Ga., a robber was soon caught because the note...
