...children by his second wife. Teb Sharmat, a lively farmer in the Caucasus, took a third wife-who was 50-when he was in his 90s. He explained that he did not want to get out of the habit. Some time before he died at 94, Bernard Berenson confided to his diary: "Only in what might be called my old age have I become aware of sex and the animal in woman." William Butler Yeats, who finally married at 52, was well into his 70s before he began trumpeting the raw sexuality of The Wild Old Wicked Man. Victor Hugo...
Seven weeks into their first season, the Blues were last in their division and badly in need of some offensive punch. Coach Scotty Bowman made some quick trades and acquired Gordon ("Red") Berenson, a bench warmer for the New York Rangers. Berenson, 29, the son of a Regina, Sask., fireman, had all the makings of a top scorer. He learned his swift and violent trade as a boy, skating on the frozen ponds of his home town, but like many young pros, he had found it hard to make a dent in the talent-heavy NHL. As a teenager...
Every Move. The trade to the Blues was the chance Berenson needed.

Says Hall: "Red's got every move in the book and then some. He's big. He skates like an express train, and he shoots as hard as anyone in the league, including Bobby Hull...
Premature Gesture. Last week Berenson received the largest number of votes in his division for the N.H.L.'s first East-West All-Star Game on Jan. 21. Though he is leading the division in scoring, he rated the honor simply on the basis of one remarkable performance against the Philadelphia Flyers earlier this season. After scoring one goal in the first period, he netted two more in the second period to turn a hat trick for the first time in his N.H.L. career. "I dove into the net for that puck to save it as a memento," he recalls...
