...Leyden was doing more than just collecting paraphernalia; he was developing into a sophisticated neo-Nazi activist. Through a fellow skinhead he came to the attention of Tom Metzger, founder of the White Aryan Resistance, based in California. "Tom wanted more military recruiters," Leyden recalls. "They started sending me literature." And he worked hard for his cause, recruiting at least four fellow travelers, who then went off to other bases. The Marines finally reacted when he had Nazi storm-trooper lightning bolts tattooed on his neck. In a 1990 evaluation his superior officer wrote, "Loyalty is questionable, as he willingly...
...Leyden worked as a telephone installer. By night, he claims, Nicole was pulling him deeper into the skinhead world.

That contempt had a lot to do with the original, cynical concept of replacement ball. Let's put some has-beens and never-would-have-beens in major league uniforms and see what happens. Well, the fans stayed away--only so many of us remember Butch Metzger, a pitcher who resurfaced 17 years after his last major league appearance. And the baseball was pretty drab, with too many groundouts and too few extra-base hits. "Major leaguers have multiple tools," said Marlin pitcher-stockbroker Steve Fireovid. "Most of us have a tool." Tiger manager Sparky Anderson refused to watch...
