(The fine print correction:)
Well, I apologize that it was I that had a bad angle.  Encouraged by
Michel's comments to Larry Mahoney in the Bangor Daily News
(http://www.bangornews.com/news/templates/?a=107815&z=225), I looked at
the WABI-TV telecast.  The stick I saw going beyond Mudryk was Mudryk's
own stick. Leveille's play was a spear, albeit a "little",  "stupid" one.
