...Washington, the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee polished plans for nationwide antiwar demonstrations next week, its first major effort since the march on Washington in November. Pickets will show up in front of Internal Revenue Service offices across the nation. Explains Co-Coordinator David Hawk: "We're trying to get people to think and talk about the war in economic terms, to relate high defense spending to high taxes." "Boston tea parties" will be staged at Manhattan's Battery Park and along St. Louis' Mississippi riverfront. Fasts, rallies, parades and other demonstrations are planned for more than...
Funky, jive, dawn, high, the Man, hawk, cool, hot, copped-out, cats, caps, kicked, reefer, Johns, juke, ofay, goofed, wing, hip, dig, soul, honkies, splib (spook as in Negro), grass and skag are just a few of the words appearing in black poetry that often have multiple meanings elusive to the white reader. For example, in Etheridge Knight's Poems from Prison, he says...
...look up to. Rival coaches simply shake their heads when he blocks the shots of players nearly a foot taller; Murphy's spring is so remarkable that in several games he has actually been charged with goal tending. As for his ability as a pass-intercepting ball hawk, says St. John's Coach Lou Carnesecca, "If you open your mouth, Murphy will steal your teeth." Nothing if not confident, Murphy has scrimmaged against such pro stars as Jerry Lucas, Rick Barry and John Havlicek at summer basketball camps. His conclusion about the big leaguers: "I can hold...
...this season's N.H.L. All-Star Game, Tony was the only Black Hawk elected to the East division team. For a goalie to win that honor in his first full season of N.H.L. play (he appeared in 13 games for the Montreal Canadiens last year) is roughly akin to a Little Leaguer's slapping a home run off Tom Seaver. The Black Hawks could not have survived with anything less. Last season the hapless Chicagoans had the most porous defense in the N.H.L.; this season, with the curly-haired, 190-lb. Esposito plugging the nets, they have been...
...quite sure how he does it. There are two basic styles of goaltending: the stand-up and the flipflop. Esposito excels at neither. Instead, he patrols the net in a fashion that might be described as roam around, fall down and scramble. "Unorthodox but effective" is how Black Hawk Coach Billy Reay tactfully describes it. Against Boston last week, the pudgy, heavily padded Esposito whirled around the goal like a pirouetting pachyderm, deflecting shots with his elbows, knees and shoulders. Occasionally he even used his stick as Chicago won 6-3 and moved into contention for the Stanley Cup playoffs...
