...line; Billie Jean must avenge the legions of women in chains, real or imaginary, who consider Riggs a male of supernaturally loathsome porcinity. With the possible exception of a nude tag-team wrestling match pitting Burt Reynolds and Norman Mailer against Gloria Steinem and Germaine Greer, it is scarcely conceivable that any other single athletic event could burlesque the issue so outrageously. A Las Vegas casino is chartering a plane to fly in show-biz folk and high rollers. Ms., the feminist magazine, plans a charter flight to make sure that Billie Jean does not lack for rooters deep...

...pulled from his girl friend's arms at a shopping center and driven off to his death. Paddy Heenan, 50, was on a bus destroyed by a grenade as it drove through a mixed neighborhood. Two gunmen entered a paint store, lined up the employees, singled out James Greer, 21, a Protestant, and shot him. Another man, hooded and shot, was discovered in a parked...
