Miller, who ousted the corrupt regime of W.A. ("Tony") Boyle five years ago, appealed for unity. Said Miller: "It's time for [his opponents] to recognize who the enemies are-the operators." But Runner-Up Patterson, a onetime Boyle crony, criticized the way that the ballot was set up; his supporters had to mark nine different boxes to vote for his candidates, while Miller's backers could select the entire presidential slate by checking only one box. But U.M.W. officials ruled that Patterson failed to line up a complete slate and thus did not qualify for the single...
Your cover story on Israel and Menachem Begin [May 30] was a disgrace. In the only democratic election in the Middle East, the people of Israel elected a man and his party to replace a corrupt, weak and scandal-ridden government-and TIME talks about Trouble in the Promised Land...
...accepting money from the KTA, with such obvious links to the corrupt and repressive Park regime, the University exhibits a drastic leap of faith.

But some athletes fear change will come too late for those already tainted by a corrupt system.

Says Powell: "Stones could turn out to be the John Dean of amateur track." Others cynically predict that AAU reprisals will be selective and merely cosmetic...
...campaign pits incumbent President Arnold Miller, 54, a taciturn, pallid veteran of 22 years in the mines, against an old friend and an old foe. The former ally is Patrick, 46, a fiery reformer who helped Miller oust the corrupt regime of W.A. ("Tony") Boyle five years ago; Patrick is now U.M.W. secretary-treasurer. The longtime Miller opponent is Lee Roy Patterson, 42, a onetime crony of Boyle's and a member of the union's executive board. Miller appears to be the front runner; Patterson, benefiting from a split in the reform vote between Miller and Patrick...
