...burgeoning galaxy of young players-such as Hollis Stacy, 24; Amy Alcott, 22; and last year's Rookie of the Year, Debbie Massey, 27-who have flocked to the recently rejuvenated L.P.G.A. tour. The traditional lack of college athletic scholarships for women and new infusions of prize money-purses have doubled since 1975 to $3.4 million this year-tend to make top women amateur golfers into pros earlier than their male counterparts. The rising stars have done their growing up on the professional circuit and in the process have honed themselves into nerveless competitors while still in their teens...
Hackett's best swim came in his specialty, the 1650-yd. freestyle. Leading after 500 yards, coach Joe Bernal's prize pupil cost himself a few extra minutes on Wide World of Sports when he succumbed to his old nemesis, UCLA freshman superstar Brian Goodell...
...imagine Mel Brooks as a Harvard professor of Psychology (and why not?--his lectures would be great). Dr. Richard H.

...Multer goes on to attack as "particularly offensive" the fact, as he puts it, that "reporters could, under certain circumstances, be jailed for refusing to reveal sources."

For the bill simply leaves untouched the Supreme Court's decision that reporters are not immune from the general obligation on citizens to testify about crimes they have witnessed. That decision may be wise or unwise; but the subject is so complicated that former Senator Sam Ervm, setting out to change it by statute, found himself...
...Texas and other producing states like Louisiana and Oklahoma native politicians ritually trip over each other in a race to carry the corporate banner of the oil and gas companies, and to win the resultant prize--an enormous campaign treasure chest. The 1978 Texas Senate race is a classic example of this phenomenon. In all likelihood the contest will be between Congressman Bob Kreuger who led the deregulation fight in the House of Representatives and nearly won, and incumbent Republican Senator John Tower, one of the industry's oldest and most faithful friends...
