...Dzikowski finished off a Rick Mrozik shot to put the Bulldogs ahead, 2-1. That one goal proved to be the spark which ignited the explosion. With two exhausted hockey teams on the ice for the final period of a two-game Christmas tournament, tempers were ready to flare, and that's exactly what happened after Dzikowski's tally...
...struggle with Ron Goldman, who gouged Simpson with his fingernails, riveted jurors. (Spitz even offered to rake his nails across defense lawyer Robert Baker's skin to demonstrate. "We're not going to have any gouging of flesh out in my courtroom," Judge Fujisaki said.) Even without that dramatic flare-up, the cuts--or rather the assorted stories he has told about them--may prove problematic for the defense.

The new Prime Minister claims that Arab leaders will simply lower their expectations when confronted by in-your-face showdowns. Instead he might drive despairing Palestinians, who have profited even less than Israelis by the peace process so far, into battle.
