Give the guy (VR) a break. S is next to D on the keyboard, maybe he has fat fingers.
No just my bad English I typed 'has' instead of 'had', anyway I removed the post. Perhaps my fingers were not aligned properly for typing, I sometimes do that also.

In 1978 Adjoran led his Hungary team to the World Olympiad championship, stopping short the Soviet Union,
who had won 12 in a row. They were, in addition to Adjoran, - Lajos Portisch, Zoltan Ribli, and Gyula Sax. A most prodigious ream.

More on Jim Brown, who is still regarded the best NFL running back, ever. Jim was a great lacrosse player as well, but also,

Jim Brown is a former NFL player and an actor who has appeared in many movies over the years. Some of his movies are:

The Dirty Dozen (1967), where he played a convict commando1
Slaughter (1972), where he played a tough ex-Green Beret1
The Running Man (1987), where he played a fiery assassin1
Mars Attacks! (1996), where he played an ex-heavyweight boxer1
Any Given Sunday (1999), where he played an ex-football legend1
Unfortunately, I have some sad news to share. According to recent reports, Jim Brown passed away at the age of 8723. He was a legendary NFL running back and a civil rights pioneer. He will be remembered for his achievements on and off the field.😢

RIP Jim Brown

Pete Brown, co-writer of ‘Sunshine of Your Love,’ ‘White Room’ for rock group Cream, dies at 82

NEW YORK (AP) — Songwriter and poet Pete Brown, who co-wrote “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room” for the short-lived rock supergroup Cream in the 1960s, has died. He was 82.
------------------

Disraeli Gears, 1967. Awesome.

The group, Cream, was truly great. And the reason why it was short lived is because a key band member was caught with pot, coming into the US.
