TONY KORNHEISER NOTES THE AFTERSHOCKS OF CLINTON ON THE IR

          President Clinton's knee injury is examined in a
     humorous column by Tony Kornheiser of the WASHINGTON POST. 
     Kornheiser:  "I'll tell you what Clinton didn't trip over at
     Greg Norman's house -- he didn't trip over a green jacket!" 
     Kornheiser writes in jest that photos of Clinton being
     wheeled from the hospital "caused a minor stir," showing
     Clinton wearing an adidas sweatsuit and New Balance running
     shoes.  Kornheiser notes that in facetious statement, adidas
     said, "We're very proud and honored Mr. Clinton chose the
     comfort of our clothing."  Kornheiser adds that Nike, Reebok
     and Fila declined to comment, "although there was a rumor
     that to do damage control, Nike chairman Phil Knight has
     flown to Bethesda Naval Center to affix swooshes on the
     surgical masks of everyone involved in the Clinton
     operation."  Kornheiser adds a casual apparel industry
     insider noted, "Clinton wearing adidas isn't that big a
     deal.  They may corner the 'fat white guy in a sweat suit'
     market.  But Nike still has Tiger Woods" (WASHINGTON POST,
     3/18).  Norman, on Clinton's fall on the steps of his FL
     home:  "There was nothing we could have done.  It wasn't our
     fault, but you feel guilty.  You feel this emotional
     draining of it all" (AP/NEWSDAY, 3/18).
