Carr struck back at Turner, calling him a "bum kisser." He said that Turner and his Boston Globe colleagues are Dukakis apologists whom the Herald cannot "out-liberal...
...making an example out of me for everybody else to shut up. These other owners would rather give away their savings and loans than lose their respectability, end up like I am, hounded, harassed, broke. I'm being slammed and ridiculed and called a thief and a bum and a liar. They even tied me into Noriega for forming a Panamanian company to do business in England. Nothing wrong with any part of it.

...seven-year-old bank is solidly profitable, a respected institution in Encino, Calif. But John J. Keating, president of Lincoln National Bank, is getting a bum rap all over town. The banker and his institution are suffering from guilt by association with Charles Keating, the savings and loan operator whose Lincoln Savings and Loan of Irvine, Calif., was taken over by federal regulators last April.

Next month George Foreman, now bigger than Mount Rushmore and twice as old, will face perennial white heavyweight Gerry...
...classy 16-piece orchestra, no less, anchors the A.R.C. series, most of whose broadcasts will come from the Majestic Theater in Brooklyn, a spectacularly decayed old burlesque house belonging to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The first broadcast detonated with a finger-snapping zum-bum-ooo-ooo singing group called True Image, headed uptown with show tunes swung elegantly by soprano Eileen Farrell, the diva who stops being 70 when she opens her mouth, then went gloriously low-down with Jelly Roll Morton tunes by pianist Butch Thompson, the fine St. Paul barrelhouser from the P.H.C. days. Flying babies filled...
