...scrambler in the mold of the New York Giants' Fran Tarkenton, Manning can pick out a receiver in a crowd of defenders and hit him with a pinpoint pass. He has the height to see over mountainous linemen and the speed (10.2 sec. for the 100-yd. dash) to turn the ends for long gainers. Beyond that, he possesses that rare quality that marks all great quarterbacks: the instinct to call the right play at the right time...

...that point, Manson sprang up, asked to take the stand and delivered 90 minutes of extraordinary sermonizing about himself and society in general (sec box). When he finally finished, he whispered to the girls that they now should not confess.

...worries at 4 a.m.? Some people take refuge in sleeping pills, or another nightcap. Not me. I simply thrust the unpleasant thoughts from my mind and demidoze about great men and greater deeds. I think about Homer Jones, 220 lbs. of black thunderbolt streaking at a rate of 9.3 sec. per 100 yds. down a football field.
