...healed, the Clippers took no chances: they secured a $1.25 million insurance policy on their fragile star from member companies of Lloyd's of London. When Walton began the 1979 exhibition season, he developed a crippling pain in his left foot. It was discovered that he had rebroken the same tarsal navicular bone. He came back to try again in early 1980, went up for a rebound - and injured the bone yet again. Walton made a final attempt at taking to the court during training camp last fall, but the pain in his foot was so severe that...
...people are regularly, often bizarrely, set upon by musclemen intent on altering the result of a horse race, their dramatically understated encounters somehow do not seem sadistic. Francis' heroes, among other things, have been hung up to freeze in icy tack rooms (Nerve) and had a broken hand rebroken with a poker (Odds Against). Yet they regularly turn up-all grit and sticking plaster-to ride or retaliate, faster than anyone could have suspected. Their sudden recoveries seem convincing partly because Francis, like all steeplechase jockeys, fell regularly, and knows the pain of riding with assorted broken ribs...

Over a year ago, in Chicago, Peter Grimes had the same leg rebroken, this time by a pie wagon. By chance Dr. Jerger, now practicing in Chicago, was called to amputate the leg. He was delighted to recognize his old handiwork. Again Peter Grimes disappeared. But this time he was comparatively rich from his accident award. Dr. Jerger, vexed by certain meannesses in Peter Grimes's behavior, sued, not for the old $500 which of course was outlawed, but for his new fee (TIME, March...
...circulated among members for a three day holiday, Good Friday, the intervening Saturday and Easter Monday, appeared to find more brokers fascinated by the profits of 4,000,000 share sessions than worried by the danger of physical ruin. Every "record" of any shape or description was broken and rebroken...
