Then came Game Two. The supposed pitching classic: Doc against the Rocket. Well, it was more like Abbott vs. Costello. Gooden was horrible, and Clemens was something less than mediocre. The Sox won a sloppy...
...focus on a young, hand-some doctor--straight--kinda like Magnum, but cuter. Maybe we can get Alec Baldwin, or somethin' similar. Now this young doc' REALLY knows what's happening, and the drama'll revolve around his efforts to get people to listen to him. We got your classic good guys against bad guys: on one side, we got the good doctor who tries to stop the epidemic, the good gays who believe him, and the good politicians who care, and on the other side, we got the evil doctors who won't touch the gaything, the evil gays...

They attracted immediate attention for their coiffure, dedication to British Oi! music, black Doc Martens boots and a ferocious appetite for violence -- against blacks, gays and Jews. Sometimes the fury turned inward: in August 1987 a California | group nailed its ex-leader to a 6-ft. plank. (He survived.) "To be a skinhead," says one participant from those days, "none of the other skinheads...
