...drug problems that plagued U.S. forces in Korea and elsewhere in the 1960s and early 1970s. (Nearly half the 2nd Division's G.l.s are black and other minorities.) Morale also seems high in most places. A young lieutenant compared his life at Camp Casey with that at a "jock college." Closer to the DMZ, soldiers suffer from isolation, primitive facilities (hot baths once a week) and sheer boredom. It is at these bleak forward outposts that the U.S. would suffer its first casualties if North Korea were ever to launch a major attack. Thus, for the G.l.s based there...
Though it requires the stamina of soccer, Ultimate Frisbee is in many ways a spoof of big-time sports. Most of the schools with teams are far from athletic superpowers-Tufts, Hampshire, Rutgers, Holy Cross, Clark University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The players take pains to maintain their non-jock distinction. When Rutgers showed up at the first Intercollegiate Frisbee Championship held last month at Yale sporting numbered uniforms and soccer shoes, the Tufts varsity responded by wearing yellow T shirts all emblazoned with the number 3. At the Tufts-Hampshire tiff, the first Frisbee was thrown out by the grandmother...
...Wood Memorial was only Media's fourth lifetime start, and the colt matched Greer's champion almost stride for stride throughout, finishing just one length behind. Campo complained after the race that his jock, Jean Cruget, had moved the horse a little too soon, and that he should have waited until the stretch...
...sport where bloodlines count. Both his grandfathers were jockeys in Santurce, P.R. Angel (who pronounces his Spanish name An-hell and likes to think of himself as a flying angel) has been riding professionally for 15 of his 32 years. The 5-ft. 3-in., 113-lb. jock, a bubbling personality who often sings while riding to the post, is a quiet artist at the reins. Along with a "good-looking seat"-he rides in a tight crouch with his back parallel to the horse's body-Cordero has one of the most effective whip techniques in the business...
...evil doctor, leeringly played by Tim Curry, has fashioned a blond centerfold playmate, Rocky (Kim Milford), who is sort of male. Frank wears torn black mesh stockings, black garters and black lipstick. Rocky is clad in something smaller than swim trunks and larger than a jock strap. He tenses his torso and biceps like an old Charles Atlas ad plugging rock muscularity...
