...plethora of football players in the scrum this spring should have a great effect on the tone of the game. Instead of being wide-open, a greater amount of action will take place in the pack. Emphasis on the forwards will make this more of a contact sport than the English game and may result in a unique brand of rugger, according to Rubgy Club President Jeff Pochop...
Robust Debate. Whatever merit Alabama courts had detected in Commissioner Sullivan's case was totally demolished. The First Amendment, said the Supreme Court, clearly spelled out "a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials."

...lady has adopted the most ancient professional politician's technique of occupying the middle ground, this time the wide-open space between Rockefeller and Goldwater. In towns where Goldwater bluntly advocated air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion, Mrs. Smith announces she would have provided cover or not attempted the Cuban landing at all. Where Goldwater proposed every conceivably frightful means to get the missiles out of Cuba, Senator Smith more mildly suggests she would "never have lifted the blockade quarantine until on-sight inspection had been allowed...
