...Liberation Organization. We refuse to talk to the P.L.O. because they are not necessarily representative of the Palestinian people. They are a small group of armed terrorists who impose themselves on the rest of the population. There is an African saying that if you put a stone in a basket of eggs, you had better worry.

With his limitless energy, Havlicek, a forward who will play guard when the Celtics want extra height on the court, often leads the famous Celtic fast break, racing downcourt to drive on the basket, shoot from outside or, more often, pass the ball to a teammate. Though Havlicek has uncanny aim with his passes and shots, his style is anything but flashy. "He takes charge in a quiet, unobtrusive way," says Auerbach. "I didn't think he'd be able to fill...
