Message-ID: <1039@hao.UUCP> Date: Thu, 5-Jul-84 12:58:53 EDT Article-I.D.: hao.1039 Posted: Thu Jul 5 12:58:53 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 7-Jul-84 07:09:10 EDT References: <1984@hplabsc.UUCP> Organization: High Altitude Obs./NCAR, Boulder CO Lines: 16 I think McEnroe (let's spell it right, shall we?) is not nearly as much of a spoiled brat as he lets us think. I'm sure lots of his escapades are just publicity stunts. And what the hell, it works, doesn't it? It got him a lucrative advertising contract from Bic, didn't it? And you are right, we can't knock his tennis. Perhaps his temper-tantrums also help him handle the unbelievable pressure of pro tennis. Blow off a little steam, play a cooler match. --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!stcvax | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!stcvax} !hao!woods "Cherish well your thoughts, keep a tight grip on your booze 'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today"
