PROVIDENCE--The Princeton Tigers were ready to pull off the biggest upset in NCAA men's basketball tournament history last night, but Alonzo Mourning wouldn't let them...
...have here is The Odd Couple on the Lam, with Mardukas trying to slip out of Walsh's clutches and the bounty hunter trying to evade the intricate triple pursuit that Screenwriter George Gallo has structured and Director Martin Brest has smartly executed. The FBI, led by burly, surly Alonzo Mosely (Yaphet Kotto), wants the accountant to testify against his former employers. The gangsters want him dead before that happens. And Marvin Dorfler (John Ashton), a rival bounty hunter, dull witted and implacable, wants to abduct the abductee and claim the fee for himself...

Alonzo McDonald, Agee's deputy, remained president of the Bendix subsidiary. A few days after shareholders approved the merger, both men resigned. Shumway, though, points out that Hennessy, Dingman and he have long known one another and that the merger was a friendly one. Nonetheless, he does not rule out the possibility of dissension. Says he: "It's very tough to say whether we'll have serious conflicts, though...
