TAILBACK (1)--Senior Mark Vignall returns to the starting slot he filled last season. The 5-ft., 11-in., 185-pounder carried the ball a school-record 39 times against Army for 173 yards, eighth on the single-game list.

For better or worse, he has come to symbolize the world's one-dimensional view of a New Yorker: an abrasive pavement-pounder who is allergic to trees. Koch obliged this perception after taking over Gracie Mansion in 1977; he kept his small apartment in Greenwich Village as a weekend retreat. He was not being cute; those who have followed the mayor's career should now realize that his biggest indulgence...
