...tight tennis was all an act. But no one with decent eyesight took the sneers seriously; the matches were too tough, too tense to be the least bit phony. In Sydney a fine two-hour contest of four sets sent Pancho to the showers with an aching forearm muscle and a stomach tied in knots. In Adelaide. Pancho's tennis-toughened hands took such a beating that he lost in five sets and left the court with three fingers bleeding. Next day, heckled by a pro-Hoad crowd, Pancho slammed a ball out of the stadium when a linesman...
...whose satiric thrusts at the telephone company's "Organization Woman" were fresh, inspired stuff. Nichols and May also did a racy, offbeat skit called "The Dawn of Love or The Moon Also Rises in an Automobile!" Scratching her ear and nervously shoving her sleeve up and down her forearm, Elaine admired the "suicidally beautiful" lake while Mike talked of other things.

Southam of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute then proceeded to inject live cancer cells...
...Agase gives him no rest. "Get him out of there. Get him out of there," shouts The Animal. As soon as one man hits, another starts his charge. Matsko holds his ground. Again a helmet shoots for his belly; Matsko catches the thrust with his shoulder, brings up his forearm in a vicious swipe to bounce his tormentor clear. After six attacks he is still there. His face stretches into weird contortions as he fights for breath. But he has proved, once more, his right to his job as linebacker. (On the other side of the field, Guard Dan Currie...
