Baffling Defense. As the players get bigger and the game becomes ever more complex, it should have been no surprise that the biggest and most complex team of all would eventually win the Super Bowl. The Chiefs' defensive front four, led by 270-lb. Aaron Brown, is the heaviest in football; their line backers are a muscular trio of marauders. Along with all that muscle goes Coach Stram's baffling, shifting "triple stack" defense. "With our wide variety of alignments," says Coach Stram, "we create a recognition problem for the offense.

Tie-dye prints are showing up in the fabric centers and even in the hosiery salons of large department stores. Whether they come off the kitchen stove, a rack in a chic boutique or an industrial loom, the bright surprises and flowery amoebae of tie-dyed clothes, cushions and wall coverings will be part of the pattern...
