Last week this war without heroes continued with a new gun pointed at CBS: Westmoreland's lawyers released a damaging interview with CBS News Executive Vice President Howard Stringer that had been secretly taped by former TV Guide Reporter Don Kowet...

On a grizzled old team that kept its own counsel, here was a brash young quarterback who courted interviewers, probably the first third-stringer ever to put his name on a restaurant. "I was 24; Billy was 34; who knows how old Sonny was? And I was ostracized." During a game against the New York Giants, Theismann impulsively replaced an injured punt returner, and that violent work became his job and his credential. The veterans...
