...gentlemanly fight last week with Roberto Duran, undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World Marvin Hagler was both an evident winner and an obvious loser, perversely confirming the curious viewpoint of the Las Vegas judge who scored six of the 15 rounds for nobody.

Although it opened just last month, the center is already attracting crowds of office workers at noon, tourists throughout the day and curious suburbanites after dark. The project heralds even more. Once, regulations made it difficult for profitmaking vendors to sell so much as a candy bar on Government property. But in 1976 the Public Buildings Cooperative Use Act was passed to encourage commercial activities within public buildings. Now, for the first time...
