...toss-up in Maine doesn't bode well to Democratic hopes of a big anti-Reagan turnaround in today's voting. It ominous indeed that a solid moderate like Mitchell with a popular record on arms control and the environment--not to mention a volunteer force of 3,000 strong--isn't pulling away from a staunch Reaganite like Emery, who hasn't even run a very effective campaign. Mitchell has an even shot at pulling it out, but Democratic effort to capitalize on the country's economic travail could very well fail to Maine, where many people seem still...
...thing is, though, that middle-ground, pragmatic approaches bode little chance of success either. The NCAA has been trying them for years, and they haven't worked. Options like far stiffer penalties for recruiting violations, or tighter supervision of major sports programs are available, but they won't mean anything until the will to solve the problem arises. And while there are plenty of well-intentioned people around; while NCAA officers can slap meaningless probations on naughty little schools; and while there is a rule-book so heavy Quintin Dailey couldn't dunk it--this all-important will is hibernating...
...common observation that a New York street background would bode better than a suburban Long Island one for a fighter, Gerry Cooney counters that there were bedrooms in his home as treacherous as some boroughs in the city.

Cooney ("Tony" was his fellow construction workers' misunderstanding of "Cooney") applied the two disciplines of his life, the Merchant Marine and ironworking, to rearing children. The amalgam amounted to walking a narrow beam at attention. Sometimes...

He has often been accused of being involved with rightist death squads, and he campaigned on a promise to eradicate the leftists. Though he has lately tried to moderate his image, some Salvadorans seem to be taking his tough talk at face value. Workers who regularly count the bodies dumped along the roadsides report that political murders have increased some 20% since the elections. And in the tiny mud-hut hamlet of Barrios last week, survivors of an alleged Sunday-morning massacre told...
...Iranians are poised to strike south toward the last and most important piece of territory still held by the Iraqis. That does not bode well for Saddam Hussein and his Arab allies. His chief military supporter, Jordan's King Hussein, rushed to Baghdad for consultations after the Iranian victory, as did Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan. Iranian officials insist that they have no plans to attack Iraq, but they do want compensation for war losses and an unconditional retreat to the previous border along the disputed Shatt al Arab waterway...
