| In the classic serial melodrama of the comics, the hero was left with a single finger gripping a high ledge, a tiger above and a ravine below. The following week we would read, "With one bound, he was free." That same incredibility now looks to be the happy story line for Uncle Sam. |

| Polls keep showing that American Indians aren't really offended by college team nicknames such as warriors, braves, Indians, Seminoles, and Fighting Illini. But many sportswriters, campus "diversity" officials, and now the National Collegiate Athletic Association think they ought to be. So the NCAA says it will ban from championship play all college teams with "hostile or abusive" nicknames and mascots. It apparently took this action without consulting tribal leaders. "It's like history--they left the natives out," said Max Osceola, a member of the tribal council of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which approves the use of the Seminole mascot and nickname long used by Florida State. "They have nonnatives telling natives what's good for them." |
