In Brief
Bears maul Patriots to claim first title since '63
NEW ORLEANS - The Chicago Bears
completed one of the most dominating
NFL seasons ever with the most domi
nating Super Bowl, crushing New Eng
land 46-10 Sunday behind the clutch
quarterbacking of Jim McMahon and
an overpowering defense that turned
the Patriots' offense into a retreat.
McMahon, whose sore buttock and
off-the field antics dominated the week
before the game, scored on two short
runs and completed 12 of 20 attempts
for 256 yards before leaving the game in
the third quarter with a sprained left
wrist.
And William "The Refrigerator"
Perry, the 300-pound lineman, ran for a
touchdown after being sacked in his
first pro passing attempt.
The score might point to an offensive
game. But it was the defense, with
seven sacks and a safety, that brought
the Bears their first NFL title since
1963.
Led by ends Dan Hampton and Most
Valuable Player Richard Dent, the "46"
alignment that often puts eight men on
the line of scrimmage limited New Eng
land to minus-19 yards in the first half,
as the Bears moved to a 23-3 lead on
three field goals by Kevin Butler and
TD runs by McMahon and running back
Matt Suhey.
The Patriots gained yardage on only
one of their first lb plays from scrim
mage, and failed to complete a pass for
25 minutes or get a first down for 26 as
Chicago registered six sacks.
In fact, New England didn't raise its
net yardage total above zero until Chi
cago was far ahead. The Bears had
opened it to 44-3 by the end of the third
quarter on one-yard TD runs by McMa
hon and Perry and Reggie Phillips' 28
yard interception return. A safety by
Henny Waechter, tackling Pats' quar
ter Steve Grogan in the end zone as he
tried to pass, capped the scoring.
' That was the major factor in Super
Bowl records for most points and larg
est margin of victory. And the Patriots'
123 total yards were the fewest in a
Super Bowl since the Oakland Raiders
allowed Minnesota 119 in 1977.
So Chicago won the NFL title with 18
victories in 19 games, including three
playoff victories in which they beat the
New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams
and the Patriots by an aggregate of
101-10.
The Miami Dolphins won the Super
Bowl in 1973 to cap an unbeaten sea
son. But perhaps no other team not
the four-time Super Bowl-champion
Pittsburgh Steelers, not the Green Bay
Packers, not the 18-1 San Francisco
49ers last year ever had such a dom
inant season as this year's Bears.
Excluding their only loss, a 38-24
decision in Miami, the Bears won eight
games against teams with records of
10-6 or better by a total of 245-40.
About New England's only consola
tion was that it became the first team
to score on Chicago in the playoffs, on
Tony Franklin's 36-yard field goal fol
lowing a fumble recovery 1:19 into the
game and an 8-yard pass from Grogan to
Irving Fryar early in the fourth quarter.
Just about everything else went right
for the Bears. They even got points on
what the league admitted was a mis
take by Red Cashion's officiating crew,
which allowed the Bears to kick a field
goal after they were penalized at the
end of the first half. Art McNally, the
NFL supervisor of officials, said the
half should have been allowed to expire.

Reaoami amid iresE oJ imafiioim
WASHINGTON - President
Reagan, suited up to watch the
Super Bowl along with millions
of other Americans Sunday, said
he wished there could be less
gambling on football because it
leads to "too much temptation to
try and fix things."
Reagan, wearing a red sweater
as he prepared to view the tele
cast game from the residential
quarters of the White House, was
interviewed by NBC newsman
Tom Brokaw as part of the net
work's pre-game programming.
Asked if he had a preference
between the Chicago Bears and
the New England Patriots in the
game, the president said, "I think
they're both great teams."
'It all comes back
and you find your
self kind of remem
bering what the
cleats felt like under
your shoes."
Reagan
When Brokaw noted estimates
that as much as $2 billion might
be wagered on the game, most of
it illegally, and asked the presi
dent if that bothered him, Rea
gan said: ;
"I wish that it could be with
out, because I think when it gets
up to that kind of money then
there is too much temptation to
try and fix things. And, human
nature being what it is, we know
from past history that sometimes
they get away with that."
Reagan, who played guard on
the Eureka College football team
in his youth said Super Bowl
Sunday found him "remember
ing football much more vividly
than you normally do."
"It all comes back and you
find yourself kind of remember
ing what the cleats felt like
under your shoes," he said.

Experts to testify
on whether journalism
is a 'profession'
CONCORD, N.H. Experts in newspaper reporting and production are set
to testify this week in a federal trial about overtime pay that has come to
revolve around the question of whether or not journalism is a profession.
Lawyers for the Concord Monitor plan to call witnesses including Malcom
Mallette of the American Press Institute to show that newspaper reporters,
editors and photographers fit the federal definition of professional
employees, who are exempt from wage and hour regulations.
The U.S. Department of Labor has brought suit against the Monitor, an
award-winning newspaper with a circulation of 21,500, charging it owes
$45,893.97 in overtime pay to 54 current and former employees who worked at
the paper from February 1978 to January 1980.
In an opening statement last week, Labor Department lawyer John Casler
charged that the newspaper's management encouraged employees to work
overtime without filing for the extra pay.
The newspaper contends it paid for what overtime was filed some
$31,000 during the period and is challenging the Labor Department's
classification of newsroom employees.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal statute covering 60 million
workers, employers must pay overtime or give compensatory time off within
the work week to employees who work more than 40 hours a week. But the
law exempts administrative, supervisory, outside sales and "professional"
employees.
Professionals, as defined by federal regulation, have special education or
training, like doctors, lawyers and teachers, or possess "creative" skills such
as actors, dancers and painters. Federal rules exclude newspaper workers
from this classification, denying that special education or creativity is neces
sary in most newsroom jobs.
In three days of testimony last week before U.S. District Judge Shane
Devine, six former Monitor reporters and Kenneth Williams, who still works
at the paper as a photographer, said they were warned about filing for
overtime.
"It was my understanding that overtime was frowned upon and that we
should not put in for all the time we worked," testified Paul Carrier, a former
statehouse reporter who worked at the Monitor from 1977 to 1981.
Carrier acknowledged that no one in management told him he could not
file for overtime and that he received over $2,200 in overtime pay during a
two-year period.
Libyan students stage U.S. protest
TRIPOLI, Libya Libyan political science students massed Sunday
outside the Belgian Embassy, which represents U.S. interest in Libya, and
chanted "Down, down U.S.A!"
The hundreds of students shouted themselves hoarse, calling on "the
aggressor Reagan" to go home and yelling anti-American slogans.
Before their demonstration, the students met for two hours Sunday with
Western reporters in a classroom at Tripoli University and discussed what
the students called "American imperialist threats" such as the current
U.S. 6th Fleet naval and air exercises off of Libya,
"The Libyan people are ready for death" student leader Ahmed el-Hadi,
22, told reporters. "We are prepared to fight back against American
aggression even though we know America is a superpower. We are pre
pared to die for our cause."
Arafat, Hussein plan talks
AMMAN, Jordan King Hussein and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat,
both under pressure to advance Middle East peace efforts, met twice
Sunday behind closed doors and planned additional talks, a PLO spokes
man said.
Arafat and nine top Palestine Liberation Organization officials had
lunch with Hussein at his hilltop palace in Amman. After a two-hour
break, Arafat returned for a one-on-one session with the monarch, accord
ing to palace sources. v
Neither the PLO nor the official Jordanian news media commented on
the talks, but the PLO spokesman said a third session was set for today.
Jordan has asked the PLO to endorse U.N. Security Council resolutions
242 and 338, which call for peace with Israel in return for an Israeli
withdrawal from land captured in the 1967 Middle East War. The resolu
tions also confirm Israel's right to exist, but do not refer to the Palestinian
demand for a state.
CIA mum on Soviet defector
WASHINGTON The Senate Intelligence Committee has been told
nothing about a senior KGB major-general who, according to published
accounts, defected to the United States last year and was in CIA custody,
Sen. Patrick Leahy, vice chairman of the panel, said Sunday.
Leahy, D-Vt, said CIA officials continued to tell him as late as Sunday
morning that no such defector existed. "They are denying it today," he
said.
However, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Lee Hamilton, D
Ind., said he had received a "preliminary report" on the alleged Soviet
defector. He declined to comment further until he received a more
thorough briefing on the case and said he was "not yet sure about the
information."
CIA spokeswoman Kathy Pherson declined comment on the report
Sunday, saying only, "We don't comment on defectors."
The alleged defection was first reported in U.S. News and World Report,
which said the Soviet officer "was smuggled out of East Germany in late
April or early May by helicopter and debriefed at a U.S. base in West
Germany " The report said the defection was kept secret "to prevent press
leaks that might have upstaged the Geneva summit in Geneva,"
Marcos orders pro-vote shutdown
MANILA, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos on Sunday
ordered schools closed nationwide 10 days before the Feb. 7 presidential
election, an unusual move that opponents charged could be for some
"sinister" purpose.
A presidential palace announcment said suspension of classes "at all
levels" would let students return to their hometowns to vote and give
authorities time to prepare the schools for use as election precincts.
Polling places are generally located in schools and teachers act as poll
officials. In past elections, Marcos suspended classes one or two days
before the vote.
The palace said a caucus of Marcos' party, the New Society Movement,
on Sunday discussed measures "to protect the sanctity of the ballot" and
that Marcos reiterated his pledge to hold "a clean, free and honest
election."
Baby Boomers 'anxiety ridden"
HADDON HEIGHTS, NJ. - Kathleen Casey Wilkins, "America's origi
nal baby boomer," said Sunday that she was part of "an anxiety-ridden
generation."
Wilkins was born in Philadelphia, one second after midnight Jan. 1,
1946, and her arrival was listed in local newspapers as the city's first of the
year. ,.
"Though no one knew it at the time, it was also the first of the baby
boom," according to a story in Monday's issue of Money magazine, which
looks at baby boomers and their finances as the first of the boomers reach
age 40. "After that, the life of America's original baby boomer replicated
that of millions of women of her era" -
The magazine said 76 million people were born during the baby boom,
from 1946 to 1964
Wilkins, 40, said she fit some of the stereotypes attributed to her
generation.
She works out three days a week, plays tennis, drives a 1985 Mercedes
Benz, avoids red meat, travels to Europe, owns a food processor and is
working toward a master's degree in business administration.
However, she said she objected to the obsession with material things
that is reported to be in vogue among some of her contemporaries.
