...changed only a little. Ken Lindner, who played over the weekend with a pinched nerve in his shoulder, seems much improved. However, co-captain have Fish, sidelined with a bad elbow, seems out for the season. "He hit some today, and the minute he hit a backhand his arm hurt," coach John Barnaby said yesterday. "I think he's seriously injured. For his own good he should forget it for the season and give his arm a good cure," he added. A former number-two player, Fish and sophomore Gardie Rowbotham won the ECAC Division B doubles championship this Fall...
...time Joey was 21, he was in trouble with the law, and a court-appointed psychiatrist found him insane. Other mobsters started calling him "Crazy Joe" but never to his face. He was too mean. Joey took pleasure in breaking the arm of one of his clients who was sluggish about paying protection money. He punctured an enemy with ice picks. He had gained his status by serving as one member (Colombo was another) of a five-man execution squad of Mafia Boss Joe Profaci in the late '50s. Police claim they had scored 40 hits. By then...
...calls the communal ties of Jews a "bond of suffering that comes whenever Jews are threatened." He felt the pull of that bond when he attended an international conference in Kiev last summer.

When his turn came to speak, he threw away his prepared text and told the Soviet hosts that the tour had been incomplete: it had not included Babi Yar, where the German Occupation forces had killed hundreds of thousands of Kiev citizens, starting with...
MILK PRICES. On March 12, 1971, Clifford Hardin, then Secretary of Agriculture, announced that there would be no increase in support prices for milk during the next year. Ten days later, a large dairy cooperative gave $10,000 to four Republican Party committees through its political arm, TAPE (Trust for Agricultural Political Education). The next day, 16 officials of dairymen's co-ops met privately with Nixon and Hardin. According to Hardin, they argued that increases in their costs demanded a boost in the support price. Two days after that, Hardin raised the support price from...
Saturday-night muggings in Times Square are as routine as the traffic, but one recent stickup had a certain piquancy. Two gunmen knocked over a movie theater, shot the manager in the arm and made off with $13,000. The theater happened to be showing The Godfather. A mad publicity stunt? Retribution by the Mafia? More likely it was ironic coincidence-and ill-planned as well. At the rate The Godfather is packing them in, the $13,000 loot would just about account for the weekend popcorn sales...
