...attempt simultaneously to put pressure on Washington and placate Egypt's increasingly restive army officers. As part of that campaign, Sadat personally donned an army general's uniform last week (for the first time in years) to give an audience of military intelligence officers a pep talk on the coming "battle of destiny and honor" against Israel...
...Year honors. The Cowboys refused and traded Thomas and two other players to the Patriots for Running Back Carl Garrett and one choice in next year's draft. After Thomas arrived at the Patriots' training camp, Mazur gave him and the rest of the team a pointed pep talk: "I don't want any free spirits around here.

Smoothly pancaked, eyelashed, and carefully coiffed in styles of the '60s, the girls come...
...Pep Yells. Many of Yazoo's kids, Morris says, objected to being sent to private segregated schools. The public schools had their traditions, not the least of which were athletic, and the influx of black players added measurably to the quality of Yazoo's teams. Black and white athletes even began exchanging soul slaps on the field. White cheerleaders picked up black musical cadences in their pep yells...
