...that college coaches are under the gun every time their team takes to the floor, so any sympathy is misplaced. "You have to keep in mind that there's a coach on the other side of the bench and it's his bread and butter too," Diehl says. Both profess immunity to the hostile bantering of coaches. "You just can't worry that the guy on the other end of the bench doesn't like your work," Hannon says. "A certain few coaches are going to bother everyone." Diehl ribs coaches who huddle their charges in protracted timeouts, saying "they...
Embarrassing Exposure. American intelligence officials profess not to be concerned that the disclosures will help the Russians since, they suspect, the KGB already knows who most of their CIA agents are anyway-and vice versa.

The argument proceeds through eight sections, bearing traditional titles ("Creation," "Fall" and "Exodus...
Providing Answers. The "new" Wallace, for example, has erased racial invective from his rhetoric. The man who ran for Governor of Alabama in 1962 on a platform of "segregation now -segregation forever" goes out of his way these days to profess his regard for blacks and all other groups. He never meant to attack a particular race, he insists; his enemy all along was oppressive bureaucracy. In response to charges that he exploits tensions but offers no solutions, Wallace and Joe Azbell, his director of communications, promise a different sort of campaign. "We're no longer going...
