...public figures, the sort of tasteless jokes that other reporters only murmur. Says a former ABC colleague: "People often find him boorish and obnoxious." Admits Donaldson: "I cause myself a lot of trouble with my deportment, and I am less than thrilled about that." Yet Donaldson seems a mascot rather than an outcast among the White House-beat regulars. They are used to his Peck's Bad Boy manner and enjoy his outbursts against the White House staff for manipulating access to the President, though some reporters blame his antics for the recent ban on asking questions during "photo...
...Training is difficult, but preparing as a club brings out a good spirit." Michael W. Smart '84, one of three Winthrop residents who founded the group, said yesterday. The griffin is Winthrop's mascot...
Organizers of big-time events have increasingly felt it necessary to embrace something cuddly, furry or feathery as their mascot-to be licensed for everything from tote bags and T shirts to coffee mugs and lobster bibs. The Moscow Olympics had a bear, the 1984 Los Angeles Games have a bald eagle, and for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, the city fathers of New Orleans picked a pelican.

But after an exhibition volley with Martina Navratilova, 26, Duncan, the New Jersey Nets' team mascot, gave her an oaf-handed shake that she would probably like to forget.

Winning the Toyota championship in New Jersey, Navratilova defeated Lloyd 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, for the $75,000 purse, season earnings...
...Baltimore, where the Orioles were able to win three straight games but not four from the Milwaukee Brewers, retiring Manager Earl Weaver did more than just pop back out of the dugout afterward; he led Memorial Stadium in cheers. Curiously, Baltimore has adopted for a municipal symbol and mascot a cab-driving, beer-belching mountain man who can roughly spell out the letters O-r-i-o-l-e-s by flailing his limbs. When the score is forgotten, the memory will be of Weaver taking over for Wild Bill Hagy and acting out how everyone felt. As he closed...
