...Spain's most lucrative foreign producer, Samuel Bronston, the government has gone even farther. Once so overextended that he couldn't pay his tab at Madrid's Castellana Hilton, Bronston has been bailed out with an official two-year moratorium on his debts, plus a fat crude-oil import license.

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 his leg completely...
