...that the original book, heretofore ignored by the university, "couldn't be funnier." Everyone waited to see who would have the last laugh, but preview audiences in Hollywood and Manhattan were already spreading the word that John Goldfarb had handily outFoxed itself long before the roar from South Bend. It is not simply a bad movie; it is a truly breathtaking display of tastelessness, ineptitude and wretched humor, crudely written and performed as one long leer. Only with a break like getting sued did Goldfarb appear to stand much chance at the box office...

A strong-minded, singleminded, career-minded girl with a unique sense of humor, Julie speaks in terse, direct and sometimes disarming sentences that seem to have been programmed on punch cards that say PLEASE DO NOT FOLD OR BEND.

Navy Coach Wayne Hardin delights in telling of playing partners with Parseghian in a golf match a few summers ago: "We came up to the 18th hole and had to win it to take...
...Spotlight. Parseghian's move to South Bend last January was more like a homecoming than an arrival. He was introduced between halves of a basketball game, and the students gave him a ten-minute standing ovation. In mid-February, 3,000 turned out in two feet of snow for a mammoth pep rally. If it was spirit they wanted, spirit he gave them. At spring training he whipped out a letter written by a former Notre Dame player who had been seriously injured in an auto accident. Rockne couldn't have done it better. Voice quavering, Parseghian read the letter...
