Frank Kush was the classic all-American success story. One of 15 children, he grew up in a company-owned house above coal Mine 35 outside Johnstown, Pa., won a football scholarship to Michigan State University, and in 1958 was named head coach at Arizona State in Tempe. There his Sun Devils became one of the toughest teams in the country. Kush's coaching record of 176 wins, 54 losses and one tie was second only to that of Alabama's Bear Bryant...
Kush, 50, has now gone the way of another legendary coach, Ohio State's Woody Hayes. Three hours before A.S.U. was scheduled to meet Washington, Kush called a hasty press conference and beat university officials to the punch in announcing that he had been fired. Like Hayes, whose roundhouse right to the throat of a member of the opposing team last season led to his dismissal, Kush was canned in the wake of reports that he too had struck a player...
Even veteran U.S. diplomats had to concede that it was a "masterful" performance. Said one State Department official: "Hard ball is what the entire process is all about.

...negotiations aimed at getting the financial guarantees that might help resolve the crisis. Although it has avoided any direct role in the negotiations, the Carter Administration is considering a multinational "Southern Africa Aid Package," which would provide between $1 billion and $2 billion to Zimbabwe Rhodesia and the neighboring states that have suffered from the war. State Department officials insist that this is a broad-based "agricultural and development fund" and not a "buy-out-the-whites scheme." Still, the initiative provided assurance that substantial U.S. aid would be available for Zimbabwe Rhodesia's future land-reform projects, including...
...against "hegemonism," Peking's code word for Moscow's expansionist ambitions. In a long-winded toast delivered at Giscard's welcoming dinner, Hua reeled off a list of Soviet sins, without once mentioning China's Communist archrival by name. He declared: "In Europe a serious state of military confrontation continues. In the Middle East, in Africa, in the Red Sea area, in southern Asia and in Indochina, ever more perfidious means of aggression and expansion are being used, namely by sowing discord, meddling in the internal affairs of others, fomenting coups and even by using intermediaries...
