Bill Bellacheck, the Boston Patriots football team head coach, on arriving  back on these shores after a vacation, had this to say about his lineman and “Dead  End” caught up in a deadly crime.

“We have great players. They understand they have an obligation to themselves and our fans. They must set an example.”

In the meantime a Big Apple candidate for the office of Mayor,arrived on our ancient turf, Avenue J, in Brooklyn’s Flatbush, now Midwood. Our yesterdays going back to Avenue H and 14thStreet. Our yearnings for Midwood High School on Bedford Avenue, a stretch of some 15 blocks on a cold morningmarathon run. 

The “ media”   may not have  been born them to get a library card from the branch library. But “What makes Sammy Run” was still on those shelves, reserved for hard copy.. Anthony Weiner, “ego trip” for the City’s high office, had confessed to using the internet for sexual intimacies.

                                                                                   III

Although he had resigned from his Congressional seat the first time, this latest internet  indiscretion and his supportive wife “blazing saddles” Adamant, he would not back down this time. He was here to stay in the race, no matter what hard print books were still being checked out at the Avenue J library electorate.

“My son is too young to be here in support of Dad. But his mother, my wife, supports f our continuing in the race for Mayor. I have committed foolish mistakes….”

“I love Anthony and for our family and our son, we stand together. For the voters and those who believe in my husband, our renewed energy is for them and all the middle class issues challenging them….””

                                                                               IV

Missus Weiner and her husband candidate may not have seenArchie  Leach aka Cary Grant woo  Deborah Kerr “An affair to  remember” on Ted Turner’s late tv. But the similarities are stillvery much  with us. Cary Grant before he morphed as the snakecharming   image we got to love; he was Archie Leach, a mesmerizing actor on stilts … the Coney Island boardwalk eight decades ago, prohibition in a fadeout.

“A nickel a pickle, hot franks, and a keg of beer for fifty cents.Durante and Eddie Jackson at the piano across the way,” Archiehoping on those stilts.  Not a time to reflect and set an example fast forward to July 23, 2013,

                                                                                   V

As the heat density hit a hundred degrees, one of the media  asin a trance, walked into the library, under the subway line. He retrieved the hard copy from the reserved stacks.

“The Education of Hyman Kaplan”

His parents and grandparents were all immigrants from the old country. Their teacher impresario was a good humor man, wet nurse and bartender all rolled into one.

A larger than life Sidney Potier

A larger than life Sidney Potier , confronted a bilbous SouthernSheriff, played b y  Rod Stiger, “Heat of the Night” playing out.

                                                                                        II

The machinations as seen by these grizzled eyes, were empowered by an invisible “Chief”, calling the  “shots” on this  Afro American intruder, setting foot on a turf, antagonistic to  the needs of the Sheriff and the entrenched boss, calling the shots on the  one button single breasted pin stripped suited Northerner (a Justice Department  Civil Rights envoy?)

Didn’t Eartha Kittt and Ethel Waters “ Cabin in the Sky” come to grips with Jim Crow in  their idiomatic  callings. Lena Horne’s “Stormy Weather” may have mirrowed the stoicism of the Southern rebs, not wanting to recognize the reality,embraced by the Emancipation Proclamation & the 20th CenturyCivil Rights Acts of L BJ.

Southern hospitality as seen by Margaret Mitchell in “Gone with  the wind” Depicting a plantation life style, where flaunting the social mores is beyond reproach , the aristocratic caste system  riddled with contradictions, is still playing out; the enduring  fictions by Scarlet O’Hara and Rhett Butler living out their lies, all in view of Hattie McDaniel.. Scarlett’s larger than life maid.

                                                                                  IV

George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” gave his interpretation of the minority struggle to transcend their “thirty lashes with a wet noodle”.Civilized living is hard to come by the caste system and sadism, is engrained in the Magna Carta, going back to 1066 and the abolishment of serfdom:, liberation, however  still a “Long Voyage Home” (John Ford, “Duke, the Trojan Horse at USC)

Perpetuating the myths, may make life worth living for the few living out the lie, but for the rest, it may make the promise worthwaiting for, even though the Rodney King debacle, andsubsequent Watts riots demonstrate that patience is long waiting. That skin pigment still   has a way to go…Bill Sstout, UCLA Daily Bruin editorial, 1945-6.

“We are the stuff that dreams are made on, our live s rounded with a sleep”

“We are the stuff that dreams are made on,  our live s rounded with a sleep,” quoteth the Bard, not knowing  a Scottish lad from a village near Edinboro, engaging the numero uno, Novak J. of Serbia….Andy Murray realized his dream in tennis’s Wimbledon crown jewel, the entire nation sharing his Dream after 77 years , Sunday, 7/7, 2013

 1936 being the moment Fred Perry vanquished the likes of Baron Gottfried Von Cram or the Aussies Harry Hopkins John Bromwich, Adrian  Quist.

Bunny Austen, Bill Tilden (USA) may also been on the draw 77 years ago. The Empire last had a smooth stroking classy  Perry, in his amateur status, and   immaculate clad triumph, the New York Times  scribe  not knowing he was a witness to a 77 year drought of  any Englishman  nor Scottish “39 Steps”  appearing on the scene July 7, 2013, 77 years to the day..

                                                                                                                      II

But we are not here to dwell on Andy Murray ,  nor his coach,  once of Czechoslovakia, realizing his own dream, vicariously, with his Scottish pupil.  Protégé would be an inappropriate characterization as his Huckleberry Finn needed the coach’s  “frame” of mind and  killer’s instinct, coming so close himself in the open eras, where corporate big bucks play a an incentive, dear reader. Something Fred Perry as an amateur,* having classic strokes and profile, could never attain in competitive juices, except for  clothing endorsements in his life after ten is lifetime….

 Reality finally setting in the once amateur game. (independent wealth was no longer a necessity)

                                                                                                                        III

Wind sprints,  marathon distant running, treadmill huffing and puffing in v the gym. Living and sleeping tennis morning noon and night  The toweled  Scot lad, bought into the Czech’s regime, breaking through 7/7  2013 in straight sets. A vanquish which h in our Jimmy Stewart “North side 777”, was playing out, the actor a Brigadier General in the  AF Reserves.

“To a fellow who is not so dumb, but really is a tennis bum”

                                                                                                                           IV

During the span  of 77 years, much of the time spent in Southern  California…Lacienaca tennis courts, Santa Monica Lincoln  courts, Beverly Hills Tennis courts, LA tennis club, UCFLA stadium and courts, private courts, larger than life players…..Ted Schroeder, Pancho Gonzales “controlled power”, (Andre  Agassi’s brother in law)

Jack Kramer, Ted  Olewine, Lester Stofen ,  Welby Van Horn, Gene Mako,  Pancho Segura, Carl Earn, Herby Flam, Robin Wilner, Noel Brown, Ralph Witt, ,    Pete Sampras (Mercedes UCLA tourney)  Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Bobby Riggs, Frank Parker, Budge Patty, Jack Cushingham, Pauline Betz , Louise B rough, Austin Sellery, Arthur Marx,  a lady doubles competitor, endorsing her panty attire “made famous”   on  those grass  Wimbledon courts), Tony Trabert, Victor Seixas,

Billy Talbert, Gardner Mulloy,  Bitsy Grant  Phyllis Adler

                                                                                                                   V                                   

Hitting ball after ball at the baseline in depth, volleying at the net ,overheads on the fly; letting the ball bounce, never beating yourself.

“If in doubt, call it out”

                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                   VI

So Andy Murray got the gold ring from the 77 year old carousel, playing out on those grass courts.. Diockens (“Boz”) “Great Expectations”)  Oliver Twist, David  Copperfield, Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Fagin, couldn’t have spun  out his dream any better, from that Scotch village , near the Queen’s summer castle, outside Edinboro..

Five Roads to Cairo

In these tumultuous times,  what’s playing out is “Five Roads to Cairo” with James Mason, “Suez Canal” Tyrone Power, and a “Man without a Country”, a  short  story by Edward Everett Hale.

                                                          II

Not that our minor planet  needs a James Mason, his ex wife, precocious daughter or a Oscar Levant chain smoking n.c., while in synch with his Pittsburgh born recall: aka Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”

But the hordes of Egyptians bringing the Cairo leadership to its knees for the second time in 12 months, is but the oil going thru the “Suez Canal”. Whence  the Detroit assembly line of Henry Ford,  his sons,  grandchildren’s dependency.

 Along with Toyotas, Hondas, and other  models that depend on the gasoline, fusing the oil, to sell the gas guzzling  jalopies to make their bottom line, and justify  copying Henry Ford’s Model T and Model A aboriginal aggressiveness.

Finally dear reader, Major Fenton comes to what Winston Churchill says is an enigma within a riddle or vice versa: a conundrum within a  whistle blower’s psyche.

To form an alliance with “leaky leaks” and disguise his interior dialogue by joining a contractor for an ulterior motive, belies Edward Snowden playing out his “whistle blower”

role.

The original “Man without a Country” was given  “Solitary”, imprisoned aboard a ship, sailing our planet’s seas into eternity.

“Indeed Kimosab I,” said Tonto, nudging the  Masked Man.      Granted familiarity breeds contempt and that proposition might  have credibility but  the applications: radio, the silver screen,  Saturday episodes), Rossini’s William Tell Overture, the internet, a full length flick, comic books, you name it readers..

 

Which brings to mind Scotty Pippen, Michael Jordan’s alter  ego on those great Chicago Bull teams, employing assistant coach Tex Winters (once of  post war 2 USC Trojans) triangle sysstem.

 

 Scotty, age 37, was embroiled in as Malibu, California, restaurant, dining with his family. A larger than life hero, Scotty, on the court, was what made Jordan become . His alter ego becoming vulnerable to a rowdy tentativeness.

 

A far cry from those practice gigs at  the Multiplex, Deerfield, Illinois  Still trying to prove to themselves  and  coach Phil Jackson(once of the Knick bench, sixth man: sitting next  to coach  Red Holzrman)  who they really were.  Their immortal legacies in the Hall of the Fame, Springfield, Massachusetts.

But all this dialectic meant nothing to an 84 year old lady, standing an inch or two above5 feet, as she addressed her supporters in the West Village, the Supreme Court recognizing the merits of her same sex argument. Her partner now gone, after some four decades.       . 

 

An estate tax of over 300 thousand, bringing the same sex l entanglement to the fore, the dispute bodes well for the recognition of same sex  issue, proposition 8 in California.

 

“You may not be  Rosa Parks, Edie, but you’ll be  just as great ,” her late partner of  4 +  decades, would have said.

 

“ With love, you can beat the system,” she told her supporters in the West Village .

A force of nature, morphing as a renaissance woman named SerenaWilliams

A force of nature, morphing as a renaissance woman named SerenaWilliams, chalked up her eleventh grand slam at age 31, her former mentor and father, Richard, getting his Father’s Day halo, eight days ahead of Time..

 

Who could ever contemplate a run by the Compton, California mastermind, collecting used tennis balls from the *tennis clubs in L.A.for his daughters Serena and Venus... a quarter of a cen tury later collecting checks and trophies for his grand slam achievement in grooming his toddlers.

 

(*Beverly Hills, Hillcrest, Brentwood ,Los Angeles,) and Westside.....indoctrinating his girls, soon as they were old enough to grip a racquet as tall as they were.

 

“Start ‘em young, coach. While they’re still in the crib”

Not to be trumped on the men’s draw, Uncle Tony of the Spanish Iusland Majorca, played a similar role with his nephew “Rafu” Nadal, the nephew at age 27 , cruised to his French clay court crown in straight sets over  fellow Spaniard . Ferrer.

 

A transcendendal planet shaking string on the grand slam Australia, French, Wimbledon, U.S. Open stage.

 

The Majorca force of nature may very well be the greatest on clay, as he has only lost twice on clay, his Uncle Tony like “papa” Williams, has nurtured his nephew into a stroking down the line, cross court angled topspin ground strokes, sliding for “gets”,the fans in a roar.

 

Two complete players, coached by their genetic DNA family, leaves former complete [lasyers like nature like Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi in the gold dust of Monument Valley careers.

Right babyboomers? Right!.

 

How could the critics recognize  the Group Theater production of open mindedness of a replica of our Saber Tooth Tiger depression laden New Deal yesterdays of bootlegging and WPA projects. The numbers racket, baking mickies on the sidewalk curb, before food stamps and welfare..

It seems like a millennium ago - NBA Game 2013

It seems like a millennium ago, a Sunday night radio sportscaster named Bill Stern, signed off “It’s one for the Ages”

 

A charismatic miracle of basketball enchantment was the once New York Knicks and Boston Celtic player, migrating to the Chicago Bulls with a Celtic assistant coach, now the Bulls head honcho..

 

Metamorphosing from a journeyman point guard, to a 16 point hero, to tie the regular game with the Knicks, and a “no quit” state of mind, the frenzied fever in 3 overtimes, to take a three-one lead , the stage going back to the Garden, a day or two later..     

 

                                                     II

 

Nate (the Great) Robinson found his niche, on the same hardwood floor that graced the likes of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, his twin brother... John Paxton, Steve Kerr from downtown.

 

“No quit “Nate, The Bulls down by 16, thirteen ticks left on the game clock, when Nate took over  like a scrub’s role, out to enlighten the masses. “                                                  

 

“We live for moments like these.”

 

Ties the score...Nate dribbling&dishing, swishing all of the half court.....his transcending, his brain neurons calibrating with #42.... baseball’s Jackie Robinson’s hand and eye coordination.

 

“Mercy Mercy, Nate” the Nets ran two players at him,ala the Harlem Globetrotter touch, Nate elevating, splits the defense.

 

Spins out of the trap, finds the open man. With a Roman Coliseum like pass at a charging bull.                                                             

                                                   III

 

“A win for God’s Glory” I live for moments like these......fourth quarter, the Knicks ‘w”slipping away... Nate Robinson on fire, the Nets fatigued. The almost 4 hour game into 143-134 Nate the Great’s transcending romp.

NBA Game - April 15, 2013

Remembering dialing Don Barksale’s music & record shop ,South Western Avenue , Los Angeles, Barksadale, the Ucla basketball stalwart, Wilbur Johns teams, pre John Wooden, post WW2. Davage  “Dave” Minor, introducing us, on Kherckoff Hall steps.(Asucla)

 

                                           II

 

“Jackie Robinsion here,”answered the phone, little knowing “number 42" would break box office records at America’s cinemas. That the fiery passionate “42" would be recognized for breaking the color line and that all big leaguers today, April 15.2013,would wear “42" in tribute.

to his legacy, preserving a historic landmark.

 

His grandfather, a plantation sharecroppere, the family’s  mobility and genetic DNA, moved to Pasadena, California where the future 4 sport  letterman attended the City College, transfering to Ucla upon attaining the Community College’s two year degree...

 

                                           III         

 

 At Westwood, he found a home His athleticism bonding with Kenny Washington on the gridiron and the baseball field. Track and field with Woody Strode. In his spare time, his hand and eye coordination dominating the ping pong rat tat tat scene in the basement of the men’s gym.

 

A natural, he joined Barksdale in basketball practices..... give and go, fast breaks, the Hank Luisetti one handed set shot, those eyes feinting out the defense. Thinking #42 would go one way, turning the corner on a pick&roll, going the other way...leaping from the foul line into the paint, hanging in the air.

 

Swish!

 

                                              IV

 

His determinism and passion could not be deterred by the outbreak of World War 2. Captain Robinson U.S. Army. Ucla graduate may have rubbed some  senior ranking officers but unlike another larger than life Paul Robson, he staked out how far he could go, in crossing the line for  black athletes who refused to “buy” the indignities and abuse that the Emancipation Proclamation in its mode, tried to legislate..

 

 But isn’t prejudice and bullying inherent in egotism, thinking only of you know who.                                      .

                                                 

                                                  V

 

 In those post war yesterdays, #42 married his soul mate , and joined the Negro league. Likes of Josh Gibson Satchel Paige (“don’t look back, you’ll see something gaining on you”. Larry Doby,  Roy Campanella, (“Campy”) Don Newcome, Monte Irwin, Dutch Leonard “Say hey”Willie Mays.

                                                  VI

 

In  the meantime, the “Mahatma”, Branch Rickey, once of the Cardinal organization in St Louis, Pepper Martin’s “Gas House Gang”, bought into the Brooklyn Dodgers in his role as managing director. Rickey’s grasp of athleticism, bought number “42" in a dress rehearsal, vis a vi Montreal, in the International League, the former Ucla star, heading up ...no, not the hot spot, but the middle of the infield.

 

Second base, anchoring the 9 player “collective” on its merits.

                                                   

                                                VII

 

How then did the Professor and #42, reach their modus operandi . A father surrogate? yet their skin pigment had a different color base.. Both humans were athletic pioneers: Rickey with the Gas House Gang of the St. Louis Organization. Robinson in the Negro League.

 

The common denominator if you will, was an aggressiveness to make something of their potential on and off the  diamond. The imaginative magnetism of #42, stealing home on a squeeze play,:( a bunt by the batter),sliding, amidst the swirling dust.

 

All made possible by the father figure Rickey, his Branches reaching out from those Missouri school yards, growing up in middle America.

 

 

 To make something of himself.                     .                                   .

 

                                                       VII

 

Where else but in Brooklyn. Court Street and Montague, the Dodgers offices, the team owned by an Ohioan, Larry McPhail, who favored Rickey as the managing parter. And Ebbets Field for #42 to perform his revolutionary “phenom” before immigrants, sports minded businessmen and knothole kids in the bleachers, the Statute of Liberty watching, across the pond.

 

And that he did, breaking the color line amidst the taunts and narrow mindedness of team mates, no less, getting the “fingers” from opposing players.

 

Yet the Captain, shortstop Pee Wee Reese, born in Louisville, Kentucky, below the Mason Dixon line, welcomed #42, throwing his arms around his second baseman.

 

How else could they compete, without the tandem making the double play.Scooping the ball up, throwing it on a line, to #42,he stepping on the bag or tagging the sliding player spikes up, pivoting and throwing a zinger to first base.  

 

The awes of enchantment awakening, #42's dream being realized in the day time and at night, McPhail introducing kleigs for night games around the early forties.

                                                    

 

                                                   VIII

 

So the Mahatma Rickey in his role of a kindred soul, with his  #42, resounded a blow against bigotry, and man’s inhumanity to man.

 

To give Robinson a chance to prove himself. That he belonged.

 

To grab that lucky ring ( a free ride) on the merry go round, off the Santa Monica pier, several miles from the Ucla campus, where #42, polished his finese for the break through in Brooklyn.

Bigotry has no place in America’s heart land. Nor in Ebbets Field.

 

The ancient lullaby “We are all God’s children”, playing out..

 

“Jackie Robinson #42 here.”
