Feisty Mike Ditka, bless his heart, recovering from his recent coronary, may be too cheerful too early.

National sports hero or not, anyone with the temerity to have a heart attack while a presidential campaign is in progress and election day coming up is sure to hear from the hatchetmen in charge of the Bush/Dukakis brouhaha.

Mike will probably find to his dismay that hell hath no fury like that of a politician whose TV exposure was so rudely pre-empted, and may well wish he were back in the comparative peace and quiet of the sidelines.
