Terence Hallinan, 38, has been interested in civil rights causes. During the '60s, it took a call from Robert Kennedy to spring him from a Mississippi jail. His nickname is "K.O."-a reference to his skill and ferocity as a boxer-and he comes on as though the courtroom were a ring. Eyes glinting through his spectacles, muscles bulging beneath his flashy suits, K.O. Hallinan is the antagonist of the team, the one who has seemed the most abrasive figure in the pretrial proceedings...

For almost a year his entourage has included Veronica Porche, a former Los Angeles beauty queen whom Ali's acquaintances have been referring to as the fighter's "second wife."

Since the members of these unions are generally more highly paid than Gotbaum's municipal workers, they would be hurt the most by the arrangement. Their members are also the most restive; in fact, Maye, a boisterous former Golden Gloves boxer, was recently voted into office partly because his predecessor was not sufficiently militant. Said the Patrolmen's McFeeley: "The two decisions I had to choose from were 1) to sell out my membership and 2) to sell out my membership with my blessing." Neither he nor the other balking...
