Army took a 10-6 advantage into the clubhouse at halftime, but it was in the second half that Walker began to strut his stuff, gaining more than 100 of his yards after intermission...

He can be hurt physically, and take it; he can be hurt emotionally, and show it. Outland gives Connery every chance to strut and smolder and sends him off on one splendid chase sequence.

"We'll get in any door we can," says Jane Weaver, 33, TOT managing director. "We have to be flexible enough to play in a high school gym as well as a 2,000-seat auditorium." That frequently exercised adaptability, says Baritone...
