...known Jim Angleton for years, but I had never fully appreciated some of his qualities until a fishing trip to the Adirondacks 14 years ago. It was a bone-chilling early spring day, and with another member of the party, I had retired fishless to the bank for a consoling drink and to wait for Angleton. Finally, he came into view, waist-deep in the icy water and feeling for safe footing among the slippery rocks. He was using a 2¾-oz. Leonard rod and casting with easy grace, the tiny fly landing lightly 80 or 90 ft. below...
There is risk in skating out to trim the angle. If the goalie only deflects the puck, an opponent may slip behind him to flip a rebound into the open net. Should he glide beyond the crease, the goalie is subject to the bone-rattling body checks that players use to knock opponents out of the play.

In the past five years Americans in swelling numbers have nurtured their own fevered dreams of slap shots and shutouts and begun a rush from rumpus rooms to hockey rinks. All vintages -and both sexes-have laced on skates, taped their sticks and taken...
Bruno Sammartino flattening Pedro Morales with a flying elbow. The Mighty Zulu punishing Man Mountain Mike with a bone-crunching knuckle headlock. Mention wrestling, and that is what comes to mind for most Americans. Not for the citizens of Stillwater, Okla. For them, wrestling offers far, far more than the dubious diversion of watching overweight meatballs belting each other in mock mortal combat. Reason: Stillwater is the home of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the most successful team in college wrestling...
