...Orleans, the Ochsner Foundation Hospital has counted 41 injuries from barroom broncos since Aug. 1. Most victims come in with bruises, sprains and lacerations; one ex-rodeo rider broke his thumb. Faced with an epidemic, the Ochsner staff is compiling data to alert other doctors to "urban cowboy syndrome...

This rodeo raga muffin-with his Indian headbands, his long braided hair, a diamond stud in his left earlobe and a face as seamed and leathery as a football left out in the Texas sun-looks like the last of the red hot Muppets.

He liked to wander through the unbelievably opulent men's shops on Rodeo, startling the prissy clerks.by bargaining.
