Gretzky singlehanded pulled the Oilers, an undistinguished expansion team, out of the basement and rewrote league history in the process. The slight youngster this season amassed 164 points -goals plus assists-well beyond the record of 152 held safely for a decade by Phil Esposito. In addition, Bobby Orr's 1970 mark of 102 assists fell to Gretzky's bombsight passing. New total: 109.

Says he: "If we can shift the underlying bias in U.S. economic policy away from consumption and toward...
Still pending against the Enquirer are about $100 million in libel suits brought by other Hollywood figures, including Rory Calhoun, Phil Silvers, Paul Lynde, Agent Marty Ingels and Wife Shirley Jones, Ed McMahon and Rudy Vallee. Just last week, Singer Helen Reddy and Husband/Manager Jeff Wald added a $30 million suit to the tabloid's crowded courthouse calendar.
