...time they reached Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport on their way east, Csonka was a good deal cooler. He and Keating learned that N.F.L. Commissioner Pete Rozelle had ruled against any W.F.L. player's joining the N.F.L. this season. His reason: Bassett had threatened an antitrust suit against the N.F.L. if the league tried to sign his men. Csonka the realist shrugged his massive shoulders. "Let's face it," he said. "We had a power play going. Now I have to start thinking about next year...
...bewildered but nonetheless quite polite, at a baseball stadium. The crowd--or rather, the audience--was not so much enthusiastic as appreciative. They did not clap, they applauded; and if they did clap, they certainly didn't yell. A healthy rooter two rows back with a pathological hatred of Pete Rose was one of the few not intimidated by the surrounding patrons, who ogled her at every shout as though she had asked for Captain Crunch cereal in a health food store. Many onlookers had to consult their ($2.00) programs to find out that No. 19 was Freddy Lynn; others...
...first five tense, volatile contests (TIME, Oct. 27) were merely a prelude to the final fireworks. Game six opened with the Reds one win away from the championship.

Layered in bandages, packed in ice, paralyzed, you thrash to hear the sound and there is none. Johnny Bench is in Pete Rose's arms, and the ball is high above shallow center. Everyone knows this now. No one is covering third base, but Yasztremski is invisibly flying to the dugout and the dark tunnel behind it to the locker room. The ball descends. Cesar Geronimo extends...
Such solo flights have threatened the security of Roger's group. The Who members have never been mates offstage-"We don't really get on," Daltrey admits. "We just make music together." But recently Pete Townshend, the group's leader and author of most of its music, has intimated that Daltrey has been slighting his collaborators. Despite this, Daltrey, 31, claims: "There is no real problem. Keith Moon, our drummer, is a bit jealous, but that's because he always wanted to be a movie star." The Who blitzkrieg of North America will open on schedule...
