...Jones, beginning his fourth year in the pros, is now a seasoned gridiron thinker, as well as an accurate passer, who was once described as "football's Sandy Koufax." Last year he rated fourth among N.F.L. quarterbacks in total offense, leading the league in quarterback rushing with 321 yds. He completed 59% of his passes, breaking the Colts' record held by Johnny Unitas. Jones, 25, has but one eccentricity: growing a beard during the season-not to shave it off for the cameras a la Namath, but to camouflage his face for duck hunting in the Chesapeake marshes...

Only two weeks after his arrival in Ireland, Ewart-Biggs and two aides set out from his suburban residence for Dublin last week, in a blue Jaguar followed by two Irish police cars. As the Jaguar crossed a sewer 150 yds. from the house, two men lurking in nearby bushes detonated by remote control about 500 Ibs. of explosives hidden inside.

Following the road to a point near the Place Massena, they connected with a sewerage line that led about 440 yds. to a point 30 ft. from the bank's strong room. Then they laid out half a mile of electric cable, attaching it to the power supply of an underground municipal parking lot. Now, with light and power assured, they began tunneling to their goal. The fastidious crooks professionally...
...meter final on Saturday, July 31, the last full day of the Olympics. Tanzania's Filbert Bayi, the world record holder in the 1,500 (3:32.2), was expected to confront New Zealand's John Walker, the fastest man ever to run the slightly longer-by 120 yds.-mile (3:49.4). Walker's best time in the 1,500 is only a hairbreadth two-tenths of a second off Bayi's record, set in the Commonwealth Games at Christchurch, New Zealand...
