Sugar Bowl, January 1 at New Orleans. Hunker down, Dawgs. Herschel Walker, Rex Robinson, Buck Belue. Are these names out of a storybook? No, they're members of top-ranked, 11-0, Georgia. Notre Dame blew its shot at the national crown with a loss to USC last week, but retains a good chance to upend Vince Dooley's Bulldogs. The Irish magic will fall short, however, and Georgia will prevail, 19-13, despite Notre Dame's remarkably staunch defense...

"I hadn't opened a script for 26 years," says Palmer, now a successful novelist (The Red Raven), living in Switzerland. "I wanted a clean break after my divorce [from Actor Rex Harrison], and I thought that any new play would be a rehash of something I had done." Not Sarah. During the course of the show, the 66-year-old actress will age from 36 to 74, lose a leg, walk on the back of a whale and nearly drown...
