...About three or four days before the election, the reports were beginning to get very positive, upbeat; then along comes the Kennebunkport incident with John Newcombe. I stayed awake all night and the next day. Barbara and I had totally forgotten about it. Calvin, the police officer, came to our house and said, 'George, I got to take you in.' I don't know what really happened that night. George was with John Newcombe, a black-belt beer drinker. He was arrested for driving too slow. He accepted his responsibility...
...legendary quarterback, Brian Dowling, had never lost a football game in which he started. Today Dowling is best known as the rabidly Republican comic strip character BD, in Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury. Trudeau was an undergraduate at Yale at that time. The Yale football team was also lead by Calvin Hill, who later helped the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory, and whose son Grant Hill is now a star NBA basketball player...
...suddenly, the unthinkable happened. Harvard cornerback Rick Frisbie '71 tackled Calvin Hill with such jarring force that Hill fumbled. Harvard took over, still trailing by 16 points.

Bush had been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol...
...Governor Roy Barnes. Earlier this year, he ordered a sweeping criminal investigation into the suspicious deaths of Terrell and 12 other foster children around the state. The boy's foster grandmother, Pharina Peterson, has been charged with murder, along with his foster aunt Terri Lynn Peterson and her boyfriend, Calvin Pittman. The Georgia bureau of investigation has spent much of this year trying to determine whether the negligence of social workers made them accomplices in the children's deaths. Bureau agents seized more than 30,000 documents last January when raiding state welfare offices to investigate the deaths. They believe...
