About the only sufferers seem to be the carp, which bear the scale scars of many a near miss, and have to swim through water mixed with a dye to make it look deep. The fish are tiny -3 in. to 10 in. long-but some parlors compensate by renting out bamboo poles so flimsy that they often snap in two when a fish is hooked.

But at Manhattan's Hospital for Special Surgery, X rays taken after air and dye had been injected into the joint showed that the main trouble was on the inside. The medial meniscus, one of the two pads of cartilage that lie between the thigh and shinbone (see diagram), was torn and rolled back in a tight wad. This explained why Namath had not been able to straighten...
