...last May, Judy Lynn, 33, a former yoga instructor, opened the Good Skates, with 200 pairs of polyurethane-wheeled skates for rent at $2 an hour. There are waiting lines at her concession on weekends and on Tuesday nights, when city roller fans join in "Nightskates," a two-hour jaunt through the park. Last week they pirouetted and coasted to music from the New York Philharmonic's open-air concert near by. At lunch hour, regulars glide along the park's winding paths, lapping the joggers. Some of the joggers are in fact beginning to roll...
...teenagers, armed with baseball bats, went on a depraved spree one afternoon, attacking passersby and savagely beating them, leaving five men hospitalized with skull fractures.

...anything, last weekend's bus jaunt to New York and Philadelphia taught me one thing: you never know as much about the game as you think. The world of the player, at a time when everything is geared toward the game, and when in fact the game becomes a way of life for a weekend, has a special atmosphere not found in a box-score, nor molded in rounds of pepper before a home game...
John Stafford began the scoring parade by connecting on a free kick from 30 yards. Ten minutes later Xavier Duralde scored a try and Will "Kamikaze" Chang followed with the conversion. Jay Joseph concluded the spree with a 25-yard jaunt into the endzone and Chang again converted...
