Known as Jeff until his Exxon days, Hazelwood seemed destined for a career at sea from an early age. One of four children of a veteran Pan Am pilot, he was born in Hawkinsville, Ga., in 1946, then moved with his family to a new | neighborhood in Huntington, Long Island, popular with young airline captains and their families. "If there were any problems, Jeff and I certainly felt isolated from them," says a boyhood chum, Martin Rowley. "Ours were perfect childhoods." Hazelwood's father was a stickler for discipline who permitted no drinking in his home...
Strange as the sight might seem, Foreman's goal is even odder. At the age of 40, after a full ten years layoff from the ring and about 40 lbs. over his best fighting weight, the slugger is in training once again. His objective -- some call it an obsession -- is to recapture the heavyweight title he lost by a knockout to Muhammad Ali in 1974. Exclaims the ex-champ: "I'm ready, and I'm better than I ever...
None of this bothers Foreman, who KO'd 42 opponents in compiling a 45-2 record. He is all vigor and determination these summer days, slugging at the bags and straining on the iron.

Now Moore has signed on as resident guru and gerontologist. "Ah, the wisdom and cunning of age," Moore muses. "Make the young man take three steps to your one. Smotin' power, that's what it comes down to. George can still smote, oh yes he can." Moore also knows something about losing weight. Eat all you like, he once suggested, just don't swallow...
...age of glasnost, officials have at last decided to introduce new maps of Moscow, which will include about 90% of the city's streets. The revised maps come just in time. Warming relations between East and West have brought a flood of visitors. U.S. travel to the Soviet Union with Intourist has doubled since 1984, to more than 75,000 visitors last year. The number would be higher but for the shortage of hotel space. Though the new maps are welcome, old habits die hard. Tourists renting cars still receive only partial route guides, which omit the roads to cities...
