...wildest brawls in hockey history. When Orest Kindra-chuk of the Philadelphia Flyers and Mike Christie of the California Golden Seals were penalized for fighting earlier this season at Oakland's arena, they quickly resumed their scuffle in the penalty box. Other Flyers wasted no time charging into battle, and they were followed by some of the Seals. When officials finally broke it up 40 minutes later, they slapped 170 penalty minutes on ten players from both teams, ejecting eight from the game.

...school, offering plane rides at $5 a head to farmers and small-town people. Later he flew airmail between St. Louis and Chicago, which in the primitive conditions of the '20s was about as hazardous as riding the Pony Express through a tribe of angry Comanches.

And Belfrage has also retained that annoying C.P. habit of stating a half-truth as gospel and then scampering off to make a different point. He notes that no one accused of espionage by Elizabeth Bentley, Louis Budenz or Whitaker Chambers "was ever convicted of spying," without bothering to add that the statue of limitation for espionage protected most...
...Flyer who holds hockey's all-time penalty record-348 min.-is Dave ("The Hammer") Schultz. A soft-spoken Canadian who grew up in a Saskatchewan Mennonite community where he attended Bible camp for several summers, Schultz turns into a hired killer on the ice. "I get so worked up I don't know what's going on," he admits. Indeed Schultz at times makes hockey resemble a roller derby or pro wrestling with his wild punching sprees. Against the N.Y. Rangers in a semifinal Stanley Cup game, Schultz slugged Brad Park four times while the Ranger...
