And here's the latest on Nancy Kerrigan; U.S. figure skater who was attacked by a man who hit her knee with a baton, right before the skating trials. Further news showed that associates of skating rival Tonya Harding are involved. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Bizarre new twist in Kerrigan case From: pbfriedm@us.oracle.com (Perry B Friedman) A bizarre new twist in the Nancy Kerrigan case mirrors the recent tragedy of another celebrity. It has been discovered that the club used in the attack on Kerrigan was owned by actor Johnny Depp. (River Phoenix collapsed and died after emerging from "The Viper Room", a club owned by Johnny Depp) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Olympic Skating Endorsements From: pd411x@unix1.circ.gwu.edu (P.J. Geraghty) Tonya Harding has already landed her first endorsement contract...from Louisville slugger... P.J.

Inspired by the biathalon, which combines cross-country skiing with marksmanship, it's time for the Olympic committee to add a new "combined" sport -- figure skating and battery. I'm still working on the "pairs" event, but I imagine something along the lines of the Bobbitt case. "Well Jim, those blades can be mighty sharp..." Matthew Merzbacher matthew@CS.WILLIAMS.EDU
