...answer: he was suffering from symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease-slurred speech, loss of coordination, reduced muscle strength and a persistent of fatigue. The doctors' report raised the inevitable questions about whether Ali's problems were a product of his profession, and triggered anew the debate over whether boxing should be banned...
...months, signs of a power struggle within the government of Syrian President Hafez Assad swirled like so many dust devils around Damascus, the capital. Last week the intrigue blossomed anew. Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas, in an interview published in the West German magazine Der Spiegel, declared that Assad's younger brother Rifaat, one of Syria's three Vice Presidents, is "persona non grata forever."
