Coaches may shudder at some of the lifestyles, but most take it in stride -though Cornerback Earsell Mackbee claims that he was cut from the Minnesota Vikings this season for showing up one day in a red lace jumpsuit, a fake fur maxi vest and a slouch hat. "Freedom to express your own personality makes for a winning team," says the 49ers' Ken Willard. "It's the swinging feeling around the clubhouse. A feeling that they're them and I'm me." His teammate Gene Washington, who grooves on $350 Oscar de la Renta suits, deplores...
Barbara's husband Lance was the foreman of the unloading crew at the cannery, operating the hoist that carried loads of fish from the boats up to the unloading dock, and tallying the weights.

A lawyer struts around the stage, and his hands go first in his trouser pockets, then in his vest pockets, then on his hips. Ruby Keeler makes an entrance (the first time we see her, she is descending a long curved staircase). Every time something important is about to occur, the full chorus assembles on stage, if only to sing eight bars of "Peach on the Beach." You're overwhelmed by the force...
