...greetings. Cards with a peace motif are doing better than ever. "For the first time, the dove is pushing the Madonna for the top spot," reports Stephen Shannon, head of the National Association of Greeting Card Publishers. The topical messages are not always gentle. For $1, the Black Panthers offer a selection of twelve different greetings. One card portrays a pig-faced white Santa emerging from a chimney to confront a less-than-loving reception committee: a black father toting a carbine and his little boy preparing to bash St. Nick with a small Christmas tree.

Making Breaks. He is just the man to do the shoring. When he left his post as general manager of the Packers to accept the Redskins' offer (of about 5% of the stock), the first thing Lombardi did was to lure Sam Huff out of retirement. A four-time All-Pro middle linebacker, Huff came back simply because "Lombardi is my kind of guy." Sam proved as rugged and mobile as ever. In the first game against Philadelphia, he came from nowhere to pick off a Norm Snead pass and lumber 18 yds. for a touchdown...
