...coaches anywhere, they depend most on grinding work. In the year preceding the Melbourne Olympics, Australian team members trained hard for ten months, swam six days a week, covered an estimated 80 miles apiece each month.

He hits the road as often as any of the players...
...TIME, Sept. 10 et seq.). In Clinton and the Law, over CBS, Edward R. Murrow's See It Now displayed for a nationwide TV audience this week some of the bad and a lot of the good face of Clinton: a stentorian basketball game in a sleek new gym, the nascent philosophy of young Football Captain Jerry Shattuck ("All through life you come up against things you don't like but have to accept"), a simple oration on tolerance by the Rev.
