Because of Mike Gielen's hounding defense, Quaker guard Perry Bromwell was held to four-for-12 shooting from the field in the first game. The return of point guard Johnny Wilson will push Bromwell to the off-guard spot, where he probably will be more effective offensively...
Wright scrawled, in a last-minute retort to Reagan's stand against "protectionism," a reference to the Democratic push for a trade bill that threatens higher tariffs as a way to tackle the nation's trade imbalance.

His first sketches to the millinery atelier caused shock and consternation. "Sometimes it is necessary to disturb people in order to push forward," he observes. Since he refines his ideas slowly and deliberately, most of today's headliners have antecedents in earlier collections...
