...this late date, the yielding up of an imperial crown for the hand of Wallis Warfield Simpson cannot remotely claim the urgency and import that H.L. Mencken once assigned to it when he called it "the greatest story since the Resurrection." Ryton is a slave to the egalitarian fallacy-namely, that under the trappings of royalty lie simple everyday souls who have their ups and downs just like thee...

Dolphin middle linebacker Nick Buoniconti set up Miami's second score on a 32-yd. interception return to the Washington 27. Tight end Jim Mandich's clutch 19-yd, catch on third down moved the ball to the Redskin two, and Jim Klick scored two plays later...
