Died. Ezzard Charles, 54, hard-luck heavyweight boxing champion from 1949 to 1951; after a seven-year bout with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative muscular disease; in Chicago.

Sensurround--the greatest innovation to hit movies since 3D glasses--feels like a bout on a motel room bed with the Magic Fingers massager. Sure the script and actors are worthless (except for old Lloyd Nolan) but when the Sensurround starts, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. They set up these big 15 foot speakers, see and when it's time for the quake, big waves...
