Recruiting. Say what you want about team attitude, training techniques, and the importance of good coaching, but the bread and butter of any collegiate athletic program is its success in recruiting. Simply stated, if you don't have the horses, it doesn't matter how badly you want it--you ain't gonna win much...
Most delegates would agree the key to DA's future success lies in effectively communicating to the public the conference's anti-corporate message. In the last election, said Wurf, "It was the oppressor who voted, not the oppressed." A black DSOC member from Los Angeles, vice president of his Teamsters local, argued, "We need an educational program to get workers more politically involved beyond issues of the bargaining table." A number of Agenda-affiliated groups plan a public education campaign for fighting corporate power centered on April 17's "Big Business Day." At Harvard, students from New England will...
With less than complete success, however, as General Goodpaster learned to his chagrin just two weeks after making that statement. The silver-haired, 35-year veteran of the Army, who came out of retirement in 1977 to become West Point's highly regarded superintendent a year after the cheating scandal that resulted in the expulsion of 152 cadets, was summoned to Washington last week for a grilling by Army brass about a second scandal.

Though the two, Francis McGirl, 24, and Thomas McMahon, 31, are pleading innocent, detectives testified that they had traces of gelignite explosive material, sand and paint from the boat...
Fouts, who was booed nearly as often as he was sacked during the Chargers' long wallow in the cellar, credits his success to his coaches and the Chargers' current crop of receivers, the match of any in the N.F.L. San Diego's offensive line is good enough, at last, to limit Fouts' once steady pounding to a meager 13 sacks in 10 games. "I like seeing a team effort be successful, and I like to be in charge of that effort." says Fouts, who receives an estimated $200,000 a year for his efforts. "There...
