...threat to the U.S.? I don't think so. I think most people in Mexico understand, as they have understood for years now, beginning with Cardenas' father ((President Lazaro Cardenas)) 50 years ago, that Mexico has to get along with the U.S. No government of Mexico can afford to fight endlessly, constantly, with the U.S. over every issue. Mexico cannot have an anti-American government...
Today, as the networks fight to retain their dwindling audiences, prime-time news programming is becoming more desirable because it costs only about half as much to produce as entertainment fare. And to compete in the glitzy arena of The Cosby Show and Dallas, stars are a must. Other entertainment elements are creeping into these shows as well. On Prime Time Live, Sawyer and Donaldson will be joined by an unusual (for a news show) featured player: a live studio audience. Both Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow and the revamped West 57th will feature dramatized "re-creations" of events, a dubious enterprise...
...those occasions when the antagonists do fight at close range, the results can be fearsome. In a month-long clash ending last May, soldiers battled intensely on a mountain and ridges near the Chumic Glacier.

Drinking has been an important part of Hazelwood's life since his college days, but it did not impede a rapid rise to the top of Exxon's seafaring ranks. Hazelwood long seemed to believe that nothing bad could befall him. As the ironic motto printed next to his picture...
...there must be something else driving a man to run ten miles a day in the Texas heat, fight in backwater towns and suffer reporters' ridicule. Perhaps it is the memories, some to be relished, others to be expunged: the glory of Jamaica, where he hammered Smokin' Joe for the title in '73. Then, the next year, the nightmare of Africa at 4 in the morning, and the specter of Ali in the ropes, taunting him with a whisper, "Is that all you got, George?" before knocking him out in the eighth. Says his friend Norm Henry, a California fight...
