Daily Star sports section was a totally different story in the 1970s
COLUMN BY DEAN RUSSIN ... The more things change ... Well, sometimes things just change. Case in point, today's sports front.

Had there been a May 21 edition of The Daily Star in 1972, it would have been odd to say the least. That date fell on a Sunday, and The Daily Star doesn't have a Sunday edition.
