Aside from Kentucky, George-town probably has more raw ability than any other team in the nation. Why is it, then, that I have such a hard time seeing them in the Final Four? If anyone will beat the Hoyas, it will be the New Mexico Lobos in the second round. A 27-4 overall record with their schedule is no minor accomplishment. Nonetheless, John Thompson's and his young team will still be playing in April...
...matured; she's grown up in public. Another coal miner's daughter, Patty is a cousin of Loretta Lynn's--like about half of the singing South. But her true musical kin is Tammy Wynette, country's calamity queen. Like her, Patty sings the truth and serves it up raw...

Soon she has the coolest gig in journalism: asking hard questions of politicians by day, having Robert Redford massage her feet at night...
