...classroom. Lesson One: take a trip to the local variety store, where you can find a whirring fan and a deck of cards. "There's this trick where you throw a card up in the air when a fan is blowing and you try to catch it," Tomlinson, the San Diego Chargers running back, explains in his Texas drawl. The man is not fooling around. He does the trick twice a week during the off-season, snatching dozens of high-speed aces bouncing off the blades, in order to tune the quick reflexes a great running back requires...
...finest wins in school history. And given the Crimson’s non-conference woes prior to its cross-town showdown with the Eagles, ‘improbable’ hit the bullseye.Harvard entered the game at 1-10, the team’s lone win coming against San Jose State, then 0-7, in a tournament game in Berkeley, Calif.

During the second televised debate between the candidates, in San Francisco, the President said, in response to a question, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford Administration." The tortured explanation for this statement emerged slowly over the next few days. Ford had not meant to deny Soviet military domination; he was simply unwilling to concede, probably as a sop to his party's right wing, that political domination was and would be a fact of Eastern European life...
