Steinbrenner doesn't like fights, though. He refused to let the Stadium, a public facility, be used for a Frazier-Foreman fight this summer because it would allegedly tear up the infield grass too much. The fight promoter then told the press that Steinbrenner wore a toupee. So the Yankee owner, concerned by this assault on his image, told the broadcaster on Sunday to pull his hair to "see if it is a purple wig." The Yankee-paid Messer dutifully announced that it "feels real to me," as the camera focused on the Yankee team taking the field...
...Gladiators were the supreme fighters," says Joe Frazier, trying his mightiest to explain why he and fellow Heavyweight George Foreman were suited up like Roman combatants to hype interest in their June 15 bout. The idea for the gladiator getup came from Fight Promoter Jerry Perenchio, who borrowed two outfits that had been used in MGM's 1959 film Ben Hur.

Bitsy has another major gripe. Women truckers, she says, often have to pass a "sleeper test"-having sex with a foreman or male driver-to get a job. "I've had trucking foremen tell me not to frustrate the other driver or they'll get someone else to do the job as required," she says. Archie Marietta, president of Teamsters Local 208 in Los Angeles, says that he has never heard of the sleeper test. "But if Bitsy is a good-looking woman," he says, "I wouldn't be surprised if some drivers didn...
...Washington, D.C. "It's a great museum with its little cars and trains," observed the champ, who took time out in the capital to mug with a statue of Washington. "My gloves may be more popular," Ali added, referring to the mitts that in 1974 beat George Foreman in Zaire, "but the cotton gin did more for mankind. I'm a man; I'm not no cotton...
