...particularly the Three Amigos, Elway's merriest band of pass catchers: Vance Johnson, Mark Jackson and Ricky Nattiel. With Gerald Willhite among the fractured, honest workman Sammy Winder more or less constitutes Denver's running game (quarterback scrambles excluded). A lot depends again on the arm of Elway, though maybe also on the foot of Rich Karlis. If Karlis had made a couple of makable field goals in the first half of last year's Super Bowl, the game could have been much different. The Redskins' kicking game has been so shaky, Ali Haji-Sheikh and Jess Atkinson were still...
...only after his stem-winder at the 1984 Democratic National Convention (a speech he today regards as far too emotional) that Mario Cuomo pierced the larger American consciousness. Already this year he has been asked to speak in nearly every state; colleges beckon him with offers of commencement addresses. Democratic fund raisers say that his name is a magnet for money. Wherever he speaks, he dazzles audiences with his verbal virtuosity and moves them with the evocation of his oft-repeated theme of family: "The sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all."

Party-splitting brawls were avoided, and unity was pledged by many orators, some of whom sounded as if they meant it. Colorado Senator Gary Hart promised full support of Mondale, who defeated him in a grueling and bitter primary campaign...
...even as Judge Pettine was ruling against Pawtucket, Federal Judge Jack Roberts permitted a Nativity scene in the Texas Capitol Rotunda, arguing that Christmas has emerged as a predominantly secular holiday. Moreover, in a similar lawsuit in Denver, U.S. District Judge David Winder ruled in favor of a creche, saying. "The message conveyed is not an endorsement by the City of Denver of the Christian faith but rather one of the general celebration of the holiday season...
...Southern Baptist terms, Smith, 42, is a formidable figure, a fiery redhaired, old-style prairie stem-winder. Last year his First Southern Baptist Church in Del City listed 2,027 baptisms by immersion, a record for the S.B.C. and, presumably, any other U.S. Protestant group. In opposition to Smith's candidacy, anti-Smith moderates fielded distinguished, disarming Abner McCall, 66, former president of Baylor University. McCall was described by his backers as "a Lincoln who can preserve this Baptist union...
