Last week the Jets' surgeon, Orthopedist James A. Nicholas, made a diagonal incision on the inner side of the kneecap and exposed the joint. When he opened the joint, he found that the medial meniscus was not simply torn: it was shredded. But he had intended to cut out this whole piece of cartilage anyway, because if any part of a damaged meniscus remains in place it causes erosion of the bone and has to be removed in a later operation. The cyst came out with the meniscus...
...always referred to himself and everyone else as "Bobo,'' drove around in a custom-built car with a two-tone bobo horn and his name in gold leaf a foot high on the dashboard. He was magnetic to baseballs, at various times broke his thumb, his kneecap, his leg. Pitching against the Yankees in the 1936 opener in Washington, a third-inning wild throw from third base to first fractured his jaw. Bobo picked himself up and went on with the game.

In Wales, Jill suffered through a series of bizarre misfortunes. Stuck in a deep bog, she had to drag her 3OO-lb. cycle out of the mud. When her bike hit a bad bump, Jill plunged over the handlebars, landed headfirst in a rabbit hole. "I was stuck so fast...
...infantry, was so badly wounded in a burst of shellfire that he felt life slip from his body, "like you'd pull a silk handkerchief out of a pocket by one corner," and then return. He emerged with 237 bits of shrapnel (by his own count), an aluminum kneecap, and two Italian decorations. It was at Fossalta that he picked up a fear of his own fear and the lifelong need to test his courage...
