...boys of the National Football League, a tight little elite of halfbacks who survive by speed of foot and wit in a jungle of brute force. Although they may weigh 190 Ibs. or more, they are seldom risked in the crunch of line bucks against wrathful 260-lb. tackles. Instead, they whip downfield for passes, or take a pitchout in full stride to sweep around end. Given a yard or two of maneuvering room, they can break a game wide open by slithering, pirouetting, stutter-stepping and sprinting through a field of tacklers for the touchdowns that are the most...
Even headier are the big dreams at Vermont's tiny Marlboro College, founded in 1946 on three old farms in the Green Mountains. "We don't fit any stereotype," says President Thomas Ragle, 32, who came to teach and became president instead. Ragle is looking for "the creative intellectual, who may or may not score high on college boards." Not even accredited yet. Marlboro makes every student take a two-day, 16-hour comprehensive exam covering all fields. Flunkers may try again, but must pass to graduate. Also required: a rigorous research project so independently pursued that...

He looked at the ruins where Salome danced, saw the site where John the Baptist was beheaded. At the River Jordan, the archbishop refused to be totally immersed, instead dipped his foot in the waters...
...humbling message of a good piece of primitive art is that some long-ago savage possessed sensibilities and skills that a modern artist, making art instead of magic, can top only at his best. Since the artists of Paris first called new attention to this old art, near the turn of the century, primitive art has had a growing fascination in Europe and the U.S. Yet experts still put the number of first-rate U.S. collections at fewer than 25. One such collection went on display last week at Manhattan's Rockefeller-founded Museum of Primitive Art-and proved...
