...salty consomme, spicy stewed beef with curry rice, bananas and orangeade. "We can develop this entire region both as a bountiful source of winter produce and as a winter resort. Our problem is what to do in summer. The temperatures go up to 120°." He sees his job purely as pioneering and, in the process, establishing ownership of the land, regardless of any criticism from the outside world that Israel is staking its claims prematurely. "If someone says we have taken land that does not belong to us, he is wrong," says Dani, although the Arabs might not agree...
...Angeles' husky William Tunberg, 32, may be the only artist who has ever elected to support himself as a donor to an artificial insemination clinic. (He was fired from his job as a life-class drawing teacher at Utah State for, among other reasons, producing drawings that the authorities considered too erotic.) Tunberg finds that when "people these days say 'Look at the old masters,' they are thinking of a cheap, Tijuana-velvety painting of a bullfighter or a landscape."

"If it had been any one of the 23 other teams," he quickly added, "I wouldn't have signed. But this...

Refereeing, which one U.S. player says favors the home team by a good 25 points, is woefully bad. And the European players, to whom teamwork is a job performed by oxen, would just as soon uncork an impossibly long set shot as pass off to an unguarded teammate.
