Football Is Football. For Prothro and Devine, two of the most celebrated coaches ever to jump from college football into the pros, the opening games were a rude initiation into the big leagues. For the other pro teams, they were merely proof that the newcomers were, as Dallas Cowboy Coach Tom Landry had predicted, "going to find it's a different game." Devine, who says that he was hit but unhurt "30 to 50 times" while patrolling the sidelines at the University of Missouri, might well agree.

A Swedish girl, who ventured out of her beachside hotel in hot pants one scorching day, got the point even more strongly when a bunch of dedicated puritans from a nearby party youth camp pelted her with rocks and catcalls...
...policy, which was announced only two weeks after Ceauşescu's return from China, the mini-culturala, after Peking's Cultural Revolution. Among the casualties so far have been acid-rock music on state radio and in youth clubs (too Western), the movie Midnight Cowboy (perverted) and the American TV series...
