...career track he hoped would lead to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As Reagan's term drew to its close, Powell, by then head of the NSC, anxiously scotched rumors that Bush would ask him to stay on. He gratefully accepted the U.S. Forces Command in Fort McPherson...
Without even leaving Shearson Lehman for the seedy McPherson Square campaign headquarters, the abrasive, brainy Darman, 45, will play a key role in the campaign. Already Baker consults with his former aide on every major decision; he has been included in closed-door strategy sessions for two months.

Being a black quarterback, he is often referred to as a running quarterback, though in fact he is a quarterback-quarte rback. "Only Syracuse promised me that I would be the quarterback and that I'd be allowed to do quarterback things," he says. "Other schools talked about trying me there but said to keep receiving in mind, and maybe defensive back." This sham goes back as far as leather helmets, but the schools leaving it behind are increasing. No fewer than 15 black quarterbacks have been...
