...Griese all but singlehandedly upset No. 1-ranked Notre Dame by completing an incredible 19 of 22 passes. Notre Dame Coach Ara Parseghian calls it "the greatest single performance I have ever witnessed." Then in 1967 Griese led Purdue to a 14-13 victory over Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl. That same year Griese was the No. 1 draft choice of the Dolphins...
...coffin's wooden casing was found to be rotting, but the coffin itself, reportedly of silver with a glass window showing the woman's face, was in excellent condition. So was the corpse. After Evita's death, Perón paid the famed Spanish pathologist Pedro Ara $100,000 to embalm her body the way the Russians had embalmed the remains of Lenin and Stalin. According to one witness, "the body was so natural that it looked like Evita was only asleep...
...long after he was inaugurated as President of Guatemala last July, Right Wing Army Colonel Carlos Aarña Osorio complained wearily to his people: "But you are so hard to govern." Since November, when Araña declared a state of siege, armed thugs of every political variety have been doing their best to remedy that problem by eliminating as many Guatemalans as possible.

(Rebel Armed Forces). Araña, a former counterinsurgency chief who is credited with wiping out 3,000 people during an antiguerrilla campaign in northeastern Guatemala between 1966 and 1968, heard mounting calls for a crackdown. Finally, after four policemen had been gunned down by guerrillas in two days, Araña imposed the state of siege and a 9 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew. Soon the blood began...
...defeats. This season, with Split End Tom Gatewood, the nation's top receiver, as his prime target, he has hit on 80 of 126 passes to lead the nation's quarterbacks with an astounding .635 completion average. A wispy 6 ft., 170 Ibs., Theismann is what Coach Ara Parseghian calls "a darting scrambler" -a rabbity runner who can turn a broken pass play into a long gainer. He is so effective that the Irish have piled up an average of 544 yds. a game to lead the country in total offense-and total exposure. Each week Notre Dame...
