                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

     Loud Mouth, a sort of hefty, red-faced, brash-looking Manager, had them sitting 
around for a team "discussion." He had just explained, or rather decreed, how he was 
going to kick some burro if there wasn't more winning. More!
     Gulp exclaimed, "Now wait a minute-!" 
     But was cut off by Loud Mouth with a "Shut Up! You're a dead donkey. I already 
DA'd you. Get out!"
     Then Loud Mouth looked at Not A Chance, and said simply, "There's not a chance 
you stay out of the DA if you start losing, so don't make a noise! None."
     "I would never say anything," chipped in the cowardly Never. 
     "You're the boss." 
     "Got that right!" slammed back Loud Mouth.  "Never is a fine role model for all 
of you. Just win."
     Loud Mouth closed the meeting and left them all sitting there to think about it. 
Jerk popped up and exclaimed, "What a jerk of a boss we have, eh?"
     Yay added, "Yay. This meeting is over; let's get outta here."
     

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  EXCLAMATION! had cause to celebrate, after JERK got 12 points by 
beating HAPPY PEASANT.  NEVER certainly had a baffled expression on its face, after 
losing to THE HONEST MERCHANT and losing 6 points in the process!  Those who hoped 
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by KHALHUMS DWARF, of AMEN-TEI, who despite a 
0-0-0 couldn't overcome AMEN-TEI's Number 1.  Word has it one team in AMEN-TEI is 
using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of WHY KNOT, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of WHY KNOT found their efforts at combat frustrated as EXCLAMATION! 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Do not despair!  
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
