...Hearns lands his powerful rights, another Leonard flaw will come to the surface. When Sugar Ray fought Duran that first time, it became apparent that not only was Leonard losing, but he was intimidated, even scared. Now Leonard is no Kenny Norton--he won't buckle at the first hard body shot--but he does seem to lose heart when things don't go his way. When he sees that he's having trouble reaching Hearns, and when Thomas starts slamming left hooks to the liver, Sugar Ray will wilt...
...knows the cause of Crohn's disease, although researchers suspect that a virus or a flaw in the body's immune system may be involved. A cure is similarly elusive. In attempting to control the disease, doctors use drugs that suppress inflammation and the immune system. In severe cases, they must resort to surgery, cutting away diseased portions of bowel and then reconnecting the ends or creating a hole through the abdomen so wastes can be collected in a pouch. But even with such drastic measures, the disease may recur, necessitating more extensive operations...

But in fact no one had emerged from the altercation with his honor or credibility enhanced, and several questions had been raised about the new Administration's ability to conduct diplomacy. The questions were many. Was there a potentially serious flaw in Reagan's aloof, above-the-battle approach to management, which relies heavily on staff aides to keep rivalries in check? How seriously had Haig's prestige been damaged, not only in the White House but on Capitol Hill and abroad? How well could the Secretary of State...
