MORE FAN ANIMOSITY We have no real equivalent of, say, Arsenal vs. Tottenham. We don't sing sectarian anthems and fling pub darts at each other. This is bad for ratings. So instead of determining teams geographically (New York, L.A., Orlando), I suggest organizing teams along ethnic, religious, political and tribal lines. There should be a Bloods team. A Crips team. A Lubavitch Hasidim team. Aryan Nations, Khmer Rouge, Hutu, Tutsi, Royal Ulster Constabulary, Jews for Jesus, Hizballah. Now you've got some fierce rivalries going--off the field and on. You try tackling a 275-lb. running back with...
Zola's goal came in the 20th minute, a powerful right-footed shot which just clipped the foot of England's Sol Campbell on the way past fellow Tottenham teammate Ian Walker, playing in goal only because of a matchday injury to David Seaman...

Grant has since kept a relatively low profile...
...firearms. One policeman in 10 is now authorized to carry a gun; in London, the ratio is 1 in 5. The shootings have hardened resentment among blacks who accuse the mostly white police force of insensitivity and racism. That lingering bitterness was evident the day after the Tottenham riot. Bernie Grant, a black Marxist who heads the local borough council, not only refused to condemn the killing of the officer but declared that the police had received "a bloody good hiding." The remark outraged much of the country. But it was especially embarrassing for Neil Kinnock, leader of the opposition...
