...would not have given a glance during the time of my glory came to visit me. He threatened to silence me forever if I ventured to talk. I have been trying to make contact with the President by telephone but am told that he is busy. I feel sure that a conspiracy is being prepared against me. I wrote this will and made certain that it will reach trusted friends. Finally, I ask the Almighty for forgiveness. God is great, and glory to Egypt...
...captain's death, possessed "resolution, courage, professional skill and a high standard of moral rectitude." Not only did Bligh pull off quite a feat by rescuing himself; he also went on to a brilliant naval career that won him a battle commendation from Admiral Lord Nelson. To be sure, admitted Lloyd, the good Bligh had trouble "understanding the feelings of other people," but that merely reflected "an unfortunate personality," which is probably what Fletcher Christian meant to say all along...
...football's No. 1 ground gainer with 1,415 yds. and an average of more than 5 yds. per carry. He can also throw passes and catch them-and a lot more.

An elusive punt returner (he has run back three for touchdowns in his college career), Schoen has "a nose for the ball"-a hard nose. "He's a real fighter," says one scout admiringly. "If I were...
Late last week, though, the consortium fell apart. One reason was that some of its members feared a court battle over the ownership of the diary. The Bolivian government, to be sure, had issued a decree claiming it owned all documents captured from the guerrillas. But Che's family might make a fight for the diary. There was the additional danger of pirated versions being circulated before the consortium members could publish. Already, several Bolivian army officers had made photocopies. Whoever finally buys the diary, it will probably be February at the earliest before readers around the world...
