...roll past him in front of the goal. Later, he corralled a precise through-pass from Mike Smith at the edge of the area but shot well over the bar before collapsing, head in hands onto the ground in frustration. And in overtime Nelson missed with an off-balance swipe at the ball as it rolled into the penalty area off the foot of freshman halfback Robert Fritz...
...Egyptair Boeing 707 touched down, bringing Sadat from Paris, where he had dropped off his wife Jihan and his two-year-old grandson Sherif Marei, who was to receive medical treatment.

While her father, a self-taught 3-handicap golfer, trudged up the fairways, Nancy stayed behind, as she recalls, "hitting and hitting and hitting, struggling to stay ahead of the next group of grownups." Tournament golf knows no pressure greater than that on a skinny eight-year...
