Humphrey still carries some familiar scars. Of the people who say he is unacceptable as a candidate, 20% consider him too wishy-washy, 28% do not like his views, 7% think he talks too much and another 7% think he is too old. His running sore over Viet Nam seems to be healing; only 2% are critical about his support...

Hampered last year by a sore arm-he was treated in the off-season by Dodger Relief Pitcher Mike Marshall, a graduate student and expert in body mechanics at Michigan State-Tarkenton has already thrown for 15 touchdowns. He leads the league with a completion mark of better than 60%. Indeed, Tarkenton, who has never been seriously injured, should soon become the leading passer in N.F.L. history. Only ten more TD throws will break John Unitas' lifetime high...
