Knievel taunts judge after $12.75 million Saltman ruling
Evel Knievel laughed at a Santa Monica court verdict ordering him to pay $12.75 million to author Sheldon Saltman for a 1974 arm breaking attack after Saltman wrote Evel on Tour. Knievel called the verdict a front and said he might contest only to face Uncle Sam. The judge's decision followed a brief trial in California.

Luck riding with Mountaineers
West Virginia quarterback Oliver Luck of Cleveland is profiled as a standout student athlete. The Rhodes Scholar finalist has shattered school records, earned Academic All American honors, and maintained a 3.96 GPA while balancing football, studies, and his interests in music, films, and coal mining work. He recalls a life shaped by Morgantown and recalls Banff’s mountain view as pivotal. He hints at future options in pro football or law, and notes Hawaii as a disliked honeymoon destination.
