Time was when Russia's light-fingered lady discus thrower, Nina Ponomaryeva, could lift a couple of hats from a London department store (TIME, Sept. 10, 1956) and rate hardly a slap on the wrist from her commissar chaperons. Nina was needed for the Olympics. But the party line has changed. Last week Czechoslovakia's table-tennis champion, Ivan Andreadis, was "temporarily disqualified" from the national team for "unsporting behavior."

It was in this game that Copeland broke his wrist. He was driven into the boards by an average body check, but as he swung around to skate for the puck, his arm hit the boards and his wrist was broken...
