...only to sight a Boy Scout to reach for his chalks-one reason why Artist Norman Rockwell was voted one of America's ten outstanding fathers in 1943. But his youngest son Peter, now 37 and a sculptor living in Rome, remembers Dad differently. "Sometimes it was very frustrating to be a subject and to be seen through his eyes and not in the way I thought I was," he explains. Now Peter has countered with a sculpture of Rockwell pere that would never make the cover of the Saturday Evening Post: a bronze head with a gaping hole...
U.C.L.A. Coach John Wooden seemed anything but apprehensive. "I don't even know what kind of defenses North Carolina plays," he said, "and I don't care." He sent no one to scout the Wolfpack and said he hadn't studied any films. Several U.C.L.A. players skipped practice the week before the game, preparing instead for pre-Christmas exams. U.C.L.A. obviously intended its usual brand of play: defense keyed around a menacing full-court press; scoring generated by fast breaks fed by quick outlet passes from Walton.

...John, 21, Steven, 17, and Susan, 16-has fallen on Betty. Ford averaged 200 out-of-town speeches a year and often had to work late at the Capitol. Fortunately for the family, his wife prefers her children and community activities to politicking. She has served as a Cub Scout den mother, a Sunday school teacher and head of the local cancer fund drive. One year she had children in three different schools and made a point of attending meetings of all three Parent-Teacher associations...
...second coming of Bubba Smith, the huge Oakland Raiders (former Baltimore Colts) defensive end who crunches quarterbacks like crackerjacks, Jones figures to be the pros' No. 1 draft choice this year. With 4.7 sec. speed in the 40-yd. dash, he is "frighteningly intense," say the scouts-a "real door jam" against the offense. He led Tennessee State to an undefeated season this year (TIME, Nov. 12). Button is the man "who takes the play out of the play action pass." Deceptively agile for his size and "very tough to fake or trap on a rollout," he has been...
...brisk round of alternate back-patting and oneupmanship. Susann gushed to Vonnegut, who replaced her at the top of the lists: "I'm your No. 1 fan. People expect us to be enemies. We're not." Lehmann-Haupt reminded the authors that the Bible and the Boy Scout manual are still the alltime big sellers, but Comfort retaliated with: "The Joy of Sex is quite possibly the most frequently stolen book in all of history." Vonnegut said he knew why: "I think it has a beautiful plot...
