This year the rivals may well vie for dominance in table tennis and baseball. But the focus of their feud will come in the Japanese sport of judo, where Korean and Japanese judoka should fight it out for the gold in three events. One Japanese, Shinji Hosokawa, came out of retirement specifically to face his Korean nemesis, Kim Jae Yup. To make matters even more interesting, the largest group of foreigners at the Games is, of course, from Japan -- eager, no doubt, to see how often Nippon can score an ippon...

This was never more apparent than during June, when the Red Sox resembled Family Feud or The People's Court. On one well-publicized bus ride, Wade Boggs fought Dwight Evans, Evans fought Rick Cerone, and Manager John McNamara quietly slipped off the bus during the middle of these episodes and headed into the team's hotel. Later that night, Oil Can Boyd went on a rampage through the halls of the hotel. It seemed that everyone (even the players' wives...
