ENDS. Bill Atessis, Texas, 6 ft. 3 in., 252 lbs.; and Jack Youngblood, Florida, 6 ft. 5 in., 246 lbs. Atessis is the charging bull in the Longhorns' defense, a kind of one-man stampede. Texas Coach Darrell Royal calls him a "superplayer, who hasn't played a bad game in three years." As another coach puts it with telling simplicity: "He just gets out there and stirs folks around." Florida's Youngblood creates a different kind of havoc. Deceptively fast for his size, he reads screens and swing passes so adroitly that he intimidates quarterbacks...
...Penn State. Robertson is known as "the black Dick Butkus." Like the Chicago Bears' star, he is a ferocious charger who is in on nearly every play. This season alone he accounted for 112 solo tackles and 45 assists. Weaver is regarded by many observers as the quickest man at his position. "Against any ordinary option," says U.S.C. Coach John McKay, "Charlie Weaver is the only man I know who can take both the quarterback and the pitch man...
CORNERBACKS. Tim Anderson, Ohio State, 6 ft., 194 lbs.; and Clarence Scott, Kansas State, 6 ft. 1 in., 180 lbs.

Scott's career statistics at Kansas State tell all: 121 tackles, 67 assists, 3 fumble recoveries, 25 passes broken up and 12 interceptions. As one pro recruiter puts it: "He knows how to get where he's going before the ball does...
There were many other causes of business distress. While consumer demand for goods and services softened, U.S. labor's demands for more wages and fringes hardened. The nation lost more working time through strikes-60 million man-days-than in any year in the past decade. Major union contracts negotiated in the first nine months of 1970 called for annual increases averaging 10%. In a modern form of highway robbery, the militant Teamsters imposed a 15% increase, thus setting a target for the rest of organized labor. To head off what could have been a nation-paralyzing strike, Congress...
...increasing monetary needs of an expanding economy." The following week. Burns, in a typically Delphic passage in a speech, left policywatchers guessing as to whether any such deal had been struck. Most common guess: no. Besides, Burns is only primus inter pares on the Reserve's twelve-man Open Market Committee, which regulates the money flow. A number of anti-inflation hawks on the committee, notably the New York Federal Reserve's Alfred Hayes, recently voted against faster expansion...
