...invented the modern police force, under the guiding genius of Joseph Fouché, who served the nation's regimes from the Revolution to the Restoration. He finally retired in 1816, and no French leader since then has been able to disentangle the mysterious, proliferating networks-within-net-works of French security agencies.

Goalies complain that getting in the way of a Bobby Hull shot is "like being slugged with a sledge hammer," and practically everybody agrees with Montreal's Claude Provost that Hull is "the strongest guy in hockey." He even looks mean when he smiles, because he is missing his three front teeth...
