Since shooting is forced by the clock and favored by the rules on fouls, the N.B.A. players are happily turning into "gunners"-once a term of contempt for the men who did nothing but shoot.

Bert and Harry's loyal viewers immediately began to complain. Answered Y. & R.: "Esoterically...
...Twentieth Century may last until 1999. Always imaginative in its approach to recent history, the program will leave its usual format next week to do a novel portrait of Middle Linebacker Sam Huff of the New York Giants. A small trans mitter was sewed into Huff's padding during practice sessions and an exhibition game with the Chicago Bears, yielding such odd fragments as a defensive signal that goes "Brigitte Bardot double blitz" and a sharp warning from Huff to an elbow-throwing Bear: "You do that one more time, 88, and I'm going to sock...
