Finally there is the trio, Berthold, Newell and Taft, whose offensive numbers don't stack up to those of their redline teammates, but they weren't expected to. The three defensemen, all four-year players along with Tate, gave the team a reputation for superb defense. Further, the three played such a vital role while forced to shoulder all of the blueline duty themselves...
...minute for 19 years. The. President has used a similar metaphor. In a speech unveiling his economic program soon after he took office, Reagan dramatized his concern about the national debt, then approaching $1 trillion, by noting that it would take a stack of $1,000 bills 67 miles high to equal that total. When he brought out his new budget this month, Reagan failed to mention that his deficits would push the debt to $ 1.8 trillion by next year and raise his stack of $ 1,000 bills to more than 120 miles...
...world of black cinema is a virtually lost one, ignored by both film historians and black-culture researchers. That is why such intense scholarly and media attention is being paid to a stack of old film cans found in a Tyler, Texas, warehouse and acquired by G.

Like the person in your photograph this "instructor...
With the press looking on, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger held up a photograph showing a stack of documents 6 ft. 3 in. high: it was the 1984 defense budget, with supporting documents. This year's stack promises to be taller still. Even allowing for inflation, the 1985 budget is the largest submitted by the Pentagon since World War II, including the years of the Korean and Viet Nam wars. It had something for everyone, as the Senate and House Armed Services committees found out last week in sometimes fractious briefings. Said one Senate staffer: "In a $305 billion budget...
