Schwarzbach's argument helped convince a Chicago jury that it should acquit Escobedo of unlawful use of weapons. Last March, as he was sitting in his car outside a restaurant where one of his friends got into a brawl, Danny himself was arrested for disorderly conduct and charged with having a loaded pistol under the front seat. But, testified Danny, he had lawfully bought the gun in his own name, and was simply transporting it. Besides, it was broken into four parts, wrapped in a rag under the seat, and therefore was a non-weapon...
...players started trading punches on the floor. One Thai picked up a long bamboo pole and swung it at a Korean. Spectators poured out of the stands. Lee Byong Hae, a member of the South Korean Parliament, was beaten by police when he tried to break up the brawl. Four Korean players were carted off to a doctor with broken teeth, cuts, bruises, and other assorted injuries. Adding insult to injury, the referee announced that because the Koreans were unable to continue play, the game was forfeited to Thailand. As a final fillip, somebody threw a dagger...

Every page has a brawl, and the puns fly as fast as the fists, whether Astérix and Obélix are smuggling a barrel of the potion into Britannia to aid an ally besieged by the Romans or rescuing Panoramix from the cabbage-eating, goose-stepping Goths...
...poet who could hold a candle to Shakespeare and who was a trouble-maker as well. Marlowe's route is traced through contemporary prints and present-day photos of his haunts. In trouble with the Star Chamber because of his vocal atheism, Marlowe was killed in a drunken brawl at Deptford, just as the law was closing in. The murder had so many loose ends that historians still wonder if it was not a put-up job to enable Marlowe to flee the country...
...patients sprawl, wander and sprint across the stage in johnnies and slippers. And a chorus in the tatters of Revolutionary costumes roams from the lights to the wings, now clustering around the tub to mime the principals' conversation, now reaching out to incite the patients to riot. Each brawl is quelled by the nurses, and our attention returns to the tendentious rhetoric of Sade and Marat, or to the visits of a sleepy, melancholy Charlotte to the archon's tubside...
