...Peg Dusek, one of the two women in the group, found a bed in the state-sponsored Boston Temporary Home for Women. She shared a room with two other women, two children and an army of cockroaches. When a woman enters the home, the authorities take all her money-"to protect us from being irresponsible," as Dusek put it. But the result is a humiliating dependence.

...classic pro-style drop-back passer with a strong, accurate arm at all ranges. Rival coaches praise his tactical knowledge, his knack for reading defenses, his ability to command "the utmost respect of his teammates"-all highly negotiable currency in the pros, who are quite likely to peg him No. 1 in the draft. The pros are also high on Archie Manning of Ole Miss, 6 ft. 3½ in., 205 lbs. A scrambler in the mold of the New York Giants' Fran Tarkenton, Manning can pick out a receiver in a crowd of defenders and hit him with...
