Rugby's Bum Rap FOUL PLAY. Finally, and how long we've waited, proof arrives that those friendly pats on the butt between athletes can get completely out of hand. Australian rugby star John Hopoate got arm deep in trouble last week for conduct unbecoming anywhere outside a proctologist's office. Three fellow players complained that Hopoate, during matches, stuck his finger up their backsides. "At first I was very surprised," said accuser Wendell Sailor, who claimed he was "jabbed" by Hopoate last month. "He just stood there and smiled at me."

Joe, what better model for tomorrow's push-button conquistadors than these butt-whuppin' machine masters? The lesson, at least, is apparently not lost on the U.S. Army, which is sponsoring the current season of BattleBots. All hail the Warrior Geek...
...gibe came as a terrible shock. "I was humiliated. I was embarrassed," she says, still fuming about the incident. "I didn't go to the EPA to be the butt of racially insensitive remarks." But she thought those days were over when President Clinton in early 1993 selected Carol Browner, a noted liberal who had worked as an aide to Al Gore, as the EPA's new administrator. "I was pleased to see a woman with a reputation for being sensitive to civil rights issues become administrator," says Coleman-Adebayo, 48. "I thought she would start a dialogue about...
