Aaaa-eeyaa-eeyaa-eeoo! The nostalgic jungle roar echoed from a Marriott hotel in steamy nether Los Angeles last week as four of 15 former screen Tarzans and three of 19 ex-Janes got together to celebrate the centenary of Author Edgar Rice Burroughs' birth.

Everyone in Boston these days wants to talk about Lynn, Rice, Doyle, Wise, even Yaz. Nobody wants to hear about Messersmith, Sutton, Cey, Garvey, even Marshall. Nobody cares that last year Davey Lopes hit three homes runs in one game against the Cubs, or that latter that week he stole five bases in one game--a game you saw, in person.
