Heroine & Haymaker. Sturdy (5 ft. 7 in., 141 Ibs.), freckled, blithely irreverent, Marielle has been called "La Zazie of the Snow"-after the irrepressible heroine of Zazie dans le Métro, a bestselling novel and movie. Frenchmen are still chuckling over the Austrian cop who got into an argument with her coach, Henri Bonnet, at Innsbruck last year; Marielle uncorked a haymaker square on the point of his chin. And then there was the unnerving experience of Premier Georges Pompidou, who lunched with Marielle after the Olympics. Mlle. Goitschel started things off by making the V for Victory sign...

...City alone has 50-odd high school players taller than 6 ft. 5 in.-but Power's Lew Alcindor, at 7 ft. 1 in. and 235 Ibs., is a giant among the giants. He wears a size 16D sneaker, and he can palm a basketball faster than a cop can palm an apple. In practice, he stands idly under the backboard sucking on a lollipop, dropping ball after ball into the 10-ft.-high basket-without ever leaving his feet. In a game, his specialties are the "dunk" shot (in which he leaps up and rams the ball through...
Shortly after sticking up a Brooklyn hotel in 1960, Nathan Jackson fatally shot a pursuing policeman. Shot twice himself, Jackson got to a hospital. There, say detectives, he admitted: "I shot the colored cop. I got the drop on him." At his trial, however, Jackson testified that he had been drugged, refused water, and was in such pain that he could not remember what he said...
