...wait. Wasn't most of the chow sizzling over campfires Wurst instead of baked beans? And as for the hard stuff being downed in the saloon, wasn't it Steffens Pils and Schnaps instead of redeye? And those redskins turning a little too red in the 90° heat, weren't they powwowing in German? The answer, indeed, was ja. The scene was the long Whitsunday weekend in Bocklemünd near Cologne, where 2,500 members of West Germany's Western Bund gathered in a meadow to dress up as cowboys, Indians and Civil...
...famous 17-year cicada has nothing on the perennial goldbug. Quick-buck speculators, long-haul investors and just plain inflation-scared savers have put so much money into gold that last week it ballooned to a record $277.15 an ounce. Other precious metals have been piggybacking on the yellow stuff. Lately silver and platinum have risen even faster than gold.

Then the Canadiens found the miracle wrecker in Left Wing Bob Gainey. Gainey is the stuff of dynasties as surely as are Lafleur, Jean Beliveau and Maurice ("Rocket") Richard from earlier teams, an example of the depth of talent that Montreal assembles to support its stars. In six N.H.L. seasons, Gainey, 25, has averaged fewer than 15 goals a year, concentrating instead on the less dramatic, but equally vital skills of a defensive forward...
