...just because we hold sports on some kind of pedestal that can't be lowered to the level of physical conflict. Particularly on a hard-wood gym floor, someone is going to get decked and seriously injured in the near future. And violence is starting to become an acceptable tactic, to some players if not to coaches. In hockey, we've had to watch Brown purposely try to remove Joe Cavanagh from play. It's generally acknowledged that if you get into a fight you make sure you "take someone good" with you from the other team. Downfield blocking...
...protect himself Nixon must either convince the nation that his proposals were sound but were sabotaged by Democrats, or he must seek compromises with Congress and claim credit for the resulting legislation.

In the TV equivalent of a football tactic known as "flooding the secondary," he will scatter 15 cameras, 40 microphones and 84 TV monitors around the stadium-the most equipment ever amassed for a football game. In the CBS control room, Verna will continually monitor shots taken by each of his cameramen. All through the game he will have...
...love to give and the courage to offer it, come work with your brothers." So far, says Lupo, a "gratifying number" of responses has poured into the Trinitarians' U.S. headquarters in Pikesville, Md., more than for any ad the order has ever run in more conventional outlets. The tactic has drawn some grumbles from within the order, but Father Lupo says: "I wanted to reach college guys and to get the most mileage for my advertising dollar." It remains to be seen whether the Playboy recruits-if they persist in their interest-will gladly embrace one of the most...
