...walls, filled with Nittany Lion stickers, Penn State schedules, art-deco posters of Paterno, autographed pictures of the local stars, speak for themselves. Soon, inevitably, the men watch as the provincial "punks" snicker, scoff and snort about whichever bowl Penn has "bullshat its way into this year," and about whichever regional favorite of theirs could "boot the Nits out of the Top Fifty." After allowing enough time for the rhetoric to billow up and fog the windows over completely, the men call, silently, for bet-backed talk or a little silence from the visitors. The bowl stakes, as well...

Early sales figures suggested that the String could become one of the most important Brazilian inventions since coffee. Bloomingdale's in Manhattan sold out its first order of 150 suits in two weeks. Ralph Paterno, owner of a Madison Avenue boutique who has his Strings made at his factory in Italy, sold 160 in two days. "I've had calls from all over for them from men-boy friends and husbands," he says. His suits cost from $35 to $40-v. $6 in Rio-and come in a variety of materials, including cotton and jersey, which Paterno favors...

Will the American male take to nádega gazing? "No question," says Paterno. American girls should also enjoy the minibikini's cheeky look. A 28-year-old Canadian woman teaching English in Rio says, "The Tanga reminds us of a G string, and what woman hasn't at some time wished she could wear a G string?" Says a strung-up Ipanema lovely: "It's bacana [right-on]. It's more bacana than a traditional bikini if you have the right body." Most of the girls from Ipanema have the right bodies...

Slow Reform. The expanding spectrum of recruiting abuses exasperates Veteran Penn State Football Coach Joe Paterno. "Recruiting is demeaning," he says. "The N.C.A.A. has not in any way met its responsibility in policing recruiting rules." But what can be done? Paterno suggests that the N.C.A.A. should follow the "vigilant example of the N.F.L." The N.F.L. has a staff of 28 professional investigators checking suspicious practices, and has succeeded in keeping pro football relatively scandal-free...

...Rose - Orange - Gator - Sugar - Cotton - Liberty - Fiesta bowl as millions will sit mesmerized in front of the tube watching the perennials (USC, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Alabama....) meet. It is big-time football, the big schedule and the big loot, with a few exceptions (like coach Joe Paterno of Penn State) the guy on the field, the ice or the hardcourt gets lost. Big-time football, big-time money, who cares that Oklahoma is on probation and won't play post-season this year because of recruiting violations or that it is no mean feat to graduate a starting backfield...
