Okay, so my tongue's in my cheek and I'm having a little fun with George Ford--he's not nearly as bad as the Ford in the White House. The fact remains, however, that his team, at 2-6, is running like an Edsel. Moreover, the credibility of Ford's explanations for the team's weak record is not much higher than that of a used car salesman's pitches...

Fred Greenstein, a political science professor at Princeton, believes that Carter is sometimes "almost too cool in his capacity to turn the other cheek," but he displays flashes of anger ("when he's hot, he's very hot"), which Greenstein contrasts with Ford's equanimity...
...ironies of integration is that it has weakened the black colleges. Even though many blacks can now go to white schools, Howard University's James E.

But she rather likes her liberated-woman role in The Spy Who Loved Me: Anya, a major in the Soviet secret service. Actor Roger...
...Barefoot Cheek. On Friday afternoon, gaunt, bearded Lasse Viren became the first man ever to win the 5,000-and 10,000-meter races in successive Olympics. After dogging Portugal's Carlos Sousa Lopes for most of the grueling 10,000-meter final on Monday, Viren shot past him with a lap to go and then loped his light-footed way to a 30-meter lead at the finish line. As he ran a barefoot victory lap with his Tiger track shoes raised high above his head,* the 27-year-old policeman was paced by five ecstatic, flag-waving...
