...Army John W. Shannon over the din on the rain-drenched tarmac. President Reagan echoed the sentiment in a speech before the Congressional Medal of Honor Society in New York City: "Our days of weakness are over. Our military forces are back on their feet and standing tall...
Theismann's want for himself was to star, not just play, for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he most admired as a boy. But a chance meeting with Eagles General Manager Pete Retzlaff made that seem unpromising. "How tall are you?" Retzlaff asked. "Six foot," he replied. "You look 5-10. How much do you weigh?"

He is not a man to whom laughter comes easily. Tall, rawboned, freckled, formidable, Osborne at 46 still resembles the wide receiver he became for the San Francisco 49ers after Y.A. Tittle and John Brodie convinced him that there were no openings for quarterbacks. At Hastings High School in Nebraska (some 100 miles west of Lincoln), he had been the star quarterback, Nebraska's prep athlete...
