A middle-age rock 'n' roller in a '50s hairdo and a black leather jacket, Davis casts a slim shadow, but it managed to cover elephantine Coach John Madden for ten years. After five seasons, including the championship year of 1980, current Head Coach Tom Flores remains a minor presence...

While many L.D.P. members believe that Tanaka deserves blame for the party's poor showing, the "Shadow Shogun" lost little of his strength. His faction, now 62 members, lost only four seats, and his support is crucial if Nakasone is to remain in office. So far, Nakasone's only concrete concession to anti-Tanaka forces has been a promise to establish a political-ethics committee in the lower house. But since Tanaka insists that he will...
