...Lies to cause harm, or "Trust me on this one." The role model here is Shakespeare's Iago, insidiously, malevolently and falsely poisoning Othello's mind against his faithful wife Desdemona. These are the lies people fear and resent the most, statements that will not only deceive them but also trick them into foolish or ruinous courses of behavior. Curiously, though, lying to hurt people just for the hell or the fun of it -- the Iago syndrome -- is probably quite rare. Though Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote influentially about Iago's "motiveless malignity," the play itself does not really support this...
...least as quickly as labor costs, money may soon get tight. TV contracts are lapsing, with no ( expectation that the next deal will be as palmy as the current one, and players' salaries now average $1 million a year, a 25% increase over 1991. Teams in small markets resent the big money made and spent by teams in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Half the clubs are supposedly losing money. It's enough to make 28 plutocrats wonder: When did owner become synonymous with donor...

For his part, the Tennessee Senator confided to a home-folks crowd in Memphis: "Tipper and I have had the wonderful experience of getting to know Hillary and Bill Clinton . . .

These older men, even when healthy, are surrounded by dying friends and mournful memories. Their juniors have lived through fewer funerals and resent the disease politically more than they lament it emotionally...
Most U.S. team members are dedicated to training and resent new NCAA rules restricting collegiate athletes to 20 hours of practice a week. Thompson is so fitness conscious that she "relaxes" from swimming with an aerobics workout. Nicole Haislett idolizes Arnold Schwarzenegger and often poses flexing her considerable biceps. There are even rumors of steroid use among U.S. women. One, Angel Martino, was banned for 16 months after testing positive for nandrolone at the 1988 U.S. team trials. Now she is back in the 50-m freestyle and maybe a relay...
