...amazing Halas. It might be an exaggeration to say that the entire fabric of sport was sewn in this singular man, but it is a fact that Halas shared one field with Jim Thorpe and yielded another to Babe Ruth. He was a most valuable player in the 1919 Rose Bowl and for a moment a rightfielder with the New York Yankees, but indelibly he was Papa Bear...
...something approximating the way she saw herself. The result is far from objective history. But it works absorbingly as ribald, poignant entertainment. One of the world's great actresses, Zoe Caldwell, enacts the writer's conversations and confessions in a blend of eerily precise impersonation (down to wearing Tea Rose, Hellman's favorite perfume) and voluble, free-spirited performance...

Organizers stress, however, that "this is a people's event." A North Dakota radio station is sponsoring an essay contest that will reward winners with transportation down to the line. A chili cook-off is planned along the route in Texas. Members of the feuding Navajo and Hopi Indian tribes have got together to endorse the event. Along a ten-mile stretch in New Mexico, thousands of hot-air balloons will ascend simultaneously. The chain...
