Haber would clobber the straight arrow handball players and then wind up in jail or a hospital after days of being on a bender with various females.

[1] An authoritative biography of Haber suggests that he suffered from a personality disorder that may have affected his outlandish conduct, but not his athleticism.

The book sites several magazine and newspaper articles, even the front page of the Wall Street Journal, that were more interested in his scandalous behavior and his confrontation with Bob Kendler, the Director of the United States Handball Association, than they were of his routine handball victories.

Haber's narrow escape from the Chicago mob, his marriage on a handball court and his frequent run-ins with the authorities are legendary and make for a very entertaining, superbly written book.

The 24 minute free movie tribute to Haber discovered during filming Paul being buried in an unmarked indigent grave with graffiti.

The movie's mission statement is to get more sedentary people aware of the exciting games of handball and racquetball, and keeping the memory of controversial champion Paul Haber alive.
