Boston's other teams haven't been burning up the turf either. The New England Tea Men took it on the chin (or is it shin?) twice this week: first striker Mike Flanagan lost the league scoring title to New Yorker Giorgio Chinaglia, and then the Fort Lauderdale Strikers struck the team from the playoffs. We're not sure which is sadder, but it still means an end to pro soccer around these parts for quite a few months...
...should finish up atop their little bailiwick in the North American Soccer League, although their chances of survival in the playoffs are cloudy at best. The season will end for the team on Saturday in Memphis, with Teaperson Mike Flanagan making a last stab at surpassing New York Cosmo Giorgio Chinaglia for the league scoring crown (at this writing Flanagan trailed the New Yorker by two goals). The New Englanders will open up the playoffs at Schaefer Stadium on Wednesday, against a first-round patsy to be named later...

Most of his business is with fellow Europeans. Laurenti's scholarly partner, Roberto Riva, 38, was born in Peru of Italian ancestry, earned his degrees in Italy, owned a prosperous oil trading company in Houston...
...ambitious Socialist leader Bettino Craxi. While negotiations to break the impasse continued behind closed doors, the electors went through 15 inconclusive ballots, with the proceedings broadcast on national television. Although Pertini was their compromise candidate, the Communists on early ballots cast symbolic votes for a favorite son, Party Elder Giorgio Amendola; by the end of the election he had received a total of 5,028 votes. Throwaway votes went to such unlikely candidates as the widow of Aldo Moro, the onetime Premier murdered by his Red Brigades kidnapers, and even Sophia Loren...
