They call Gary Beban "the Great One" at U.C.L.A., where in a three-year football career he ran for 1,271 yards, passed for 4,087 yards and scored 35 touchdowns in leading the Bruins to 22 victories and two ties in his 29 games. Even in U.C.L.A.'s 21-20 loss to Southern California, now the U.S.'s top-ranked team. Beban passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns, was told after the game by U.S.C.'s superb Halfback O. J. Simpson: "Gary, you're the greatest." Sportswriters and broadcasters agreed. By a slim margin...
Born in Whitman, Mass., where his father ran a grocery, Spellman gave no early hint of religious vocation. He attended public elementary and high schools, helped in his father's store, worked one summer as a conductor on the local trolley line. At New York's Jesuit-run Fordham University he was a conscientious but hardly brilliant student, a debater, and an earnest poet. Only on the eve of graduation did he decide to enter the priesthood.

It seemed as if two different Bonnie and Clydes were slipping into towns simultaneously...

Husky Jose Gonzalez, showing unexpected agility for his size, ran Mark Taylor all over the court enroute to beating...
...three weeks of hill-to-hill fighting, U.S. troopers and their South Vietnamese allies killed, according to actual body count, 1,599 North Vietnamese soldiers. U.S. military experts feel that the actual number of Communist dead probably ran two or three times that high, because the enemy carries off with him so many of his comrades' corpses. U.S. losses were also fairly high. In last week's single battle, 150 U.S. paratroopers fell and another 250 were wounded-the grim measure of American determination to deny Dak To to the enemy...
