...Vice President Richard Nixon a week later. A fortnight ago, Rosenthal described Polish Communist Party Leader Gomulka as a "moody, irascible" man whose "leadership has created rifts that could grow." The immediate cause for last week's expulsion appeared to be a story that the Polish government, getting even tougher, had brought a former Stalinist from diplomatic exile for a high army post...

Result: pro goalies regularly contract what the trade calls "rubber shock" (defined by one player as "first cousin to shell shock"), have even skated off the ice bewildered during championship games. Over the years, Plante had faced up to the attack without flinching, and paid the price: broken nose, hairline fracture of the skull, cracks in both cheekbones, some 150 stitches for assorted gashes, from sticks and skates as well as pucks...
