...bone, resulting in multiple fractures after minimal trauma. Though lack of vitamins may cause health problems, the pills are not-and should not be-regarded as panaceas. "People," says Philip White, an American Medical Association nutrition expert, "have been led to believe that positive health benefits will occur: super vitality, great endurance, freedom from illness, resistance to infection. Supposedly these benefits result from supplementing an already adequate diet. They cannot...
...effort is remarkable, not for any startlingly original insight concerning any one of these cultural stars or super-stars, but for the ingenious way that Trilling readjusts our view of each in the perspective of an evolving search for self, through the conceptual models of sincerity and authenticity. Both of these words, unfortunately, have drifted into verbal impotence of late. As Trilling admists, "sincerity" these days is at best found at the end of letters which are quite the opposite of sincere. And authenticity has been relegated to antique shops and little-read long-winded existentialist treatises. Trilling sets about...
...rugged young superteam. The reason is simple: more than anything Miami loves a winner, and Shula's Dolphins are the biggest winners in pro football. Starting the season with bleak memories of the 24-3 birching administered to them by the Dallas Cowboys in last January's Super Bowl, the Dolphins have reeled off twelve victories in a row, including last Sunday's 37-21 win over the hapless New England Patriots at Foxboro, Mass.

What Morrall did then was take over the Colt reins, guide the team to the Super Bowl and get himself named N.F.L. Player of the Year. Once again, Morrall has risen to the task. In the first seven games after replacing Griese, he completed 56 of 99 tosses (including seven for touchdowns...
...Bengals from a woeful expansion team into a tough title contender. Nonetheless, Cincinnati has dropped two games behind Cleveland and the newly tempered Pittsburgh Steelers in the A.F.C. Central Division. It is quite possible, however, that Shula may once again meet Tom Landry and his mechanical Cowboys in the Super Bowl. It is even more likely that he may have a different and perhaps more interesting sort of rematch with Coach George Allen of the Washington Redskins, who have won the N.F.C.'s Eastern Division title. In 1967, Shula's Colts and Allen's Los Angeles Rams...
