...Buffalo's O.J. Simpson were not monopolizing the headlines for running backs, the Vikings' Chuck Foreman might. Going into last weekend's game against the New Orleans Saints, Foreman was the leading pass catcher in pro football with 38 receptions, as well as the second-leading rusher (576 yds.) and the top touchdown producer (eleven) in his conference. When Foreman is not handling the ball, Tarkenton can also give it to two other solid young runners, Ed Marinaro and Brent McClanahan, or can look downfield for veteran Tight End Stu Voigt.

But the YAF reached into its libertarian bullpen and produced the agreeable Rusher. This slow, just plain boring speaker (one Yale dean lunged for a book which he gleefully read upside down for a couple of pages in mid-argument) never moved beyond the gospel according to William F. Buckley. His laissez-faire attitude even extended to his unpolished debating techniques, apparently not improved by his stint...
