...there is an office pool on that ultimate test of valor and gristle, the Olympic men's downhill ski race at Mount Allan, near Calgary. You throw in your dollar, reach into the hat, and pull out the name of Switzerland's Peter Muller, say, or Canada's Rob Boyd. Congratulations! These are hairy-eared mountain men, eaters of nails, sleepers on plank floors, and you are looking fairly good to win a hatful of dollars.

...Hendu has struck out far more often than he has homered. Roger Clemens and Rich Gedman began the season late after holding out for more money. Oil Can Boyd shoulder was hurt. Jim Rice forgot how to hit home runs--much less anything else. Calvin Schiraldi continued to throw meatball pitches right over the plate. The upshot of all this was that the Red Sox were never even in contention, dashing the expectations of fans all over New England...
...obscene form of racial McCarthyism, but to acknowledge a real problem that we all must try to deal with. Name-calling, character assassination, and tying partisan politics up with issues that are fundamentally more important only degrade the effort to combat racial bigotry. By feeding these divisive fires, Boyd's cartoon only makes the problem worse. Christopher A. Ford...
