...skip "asshole, asshole," which seems too childish and "boring" to need further comment. "Midget" is another matter. When you come down to it, what is the difference between ridiculing a player because of his race and ridiculing him because of his size? If there is a difference, it would dictate extra praise for overcoming the handicap...
...matters that his heart and guts may not be in his work. Hal Ashby's slapdash film record of the Rolling Stones' 1981 U.S. tour reveals the old showman parading his tricks with skill and snazz. Against a pointillist backdrop of thousands of shirts and faces, Jagger skip-sprints across the huge stage, towels off his crotch with his jacket, executes arabesques and aerobics, drapes himself in chiffon or Stars and Stripes or next to nothing.

...Postponement also creates some problems in Harvard coach Bill Cleary's plans for him goaltenders. He has been starting Giant Blair more frequently lately instead of fellow freshman Dick McEvoy, Blair will start to fight but that means he must skip a later game of play three tough teams in four nights. The prospect wearies Cleary, though Blair notes he handled similar situations when he played in Canada's junior leagues...
