...water was heated to a soothing 80°, so the pool was full of happy swimmers. But not so happy was Lifeguard Steve Tourville. Watching over his charges, he sat in his chair wearing a suit of thermal underwear and three sweaters. Is this a Colorado ski resort scene? No, just an unusual 36° day at Walt Disney World in Florida. Across a broad sweep of the country last week, winter howled in with bone-numbing force.

It could be more exciting than the game, which?if this year's Super Bowl follows the soporific pattern of recent years?may be a dogged defensive struggle. Certainly Denver's strategy will center on its magnificent 3-4 Orange Crush. When asked whom the Cowboys feared most among that band, Landry replied: "All eleven guys. They play as if they were backed into a corner and fighting...
