...Foreman who found religion in a San Juan, Puerto Rico, dressing room in 1977, proclaimed boxing an affront to God and announced he was quitting forever. This is the same Foreman who ballooned to 320 lbs. from a fighting trim of 217, and even today at 255 is far beefier than anyone who wants to hold the title should be.

It said: "ROBERT j. ALLEN: You are on your own. I am giving up my newspaper...
Lobby with a Weapon. The A.M.A. Washington lobby may not be, as Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff charges, "the most powerful in America," but it commands the profound respect of beefier, louder-talking outfits. The A.M.A. lobby, has only 13 people in its Washington office. It picks its legislative targets knowingly and concentrates its fire, and it is the envy of other lobbies because it has a secret weapon: the Congressman's personal physician...
