...brick wall and green canvas gates in Pacific Palisades, slightly to the left of Beverly Hills, film memorabilia vie for space with fine art in rooms accented with rich woods and polished brass. A mammoth Leroy Neiman portrait of Rocky hangs near a Rodin sculpture, a boxer's headguard inscribed "To Sly from Muhammad Ali" rests near Andy Warhol oils. Another treasured possession is a worn photo album that the star uses to document his "roaches to riches" story. Stallone, dressed in running shoes and warmup suit, puffing on a Dunhill briar pipe, leafs through the pictures...

Younger than many footballers (20) he is likely to follow his brother Everett to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship next year. Younger than...
...Woodworth had with him his sweater with the varsity "N" (Northwestern) on it. That might bring him luck. It had in football. He never wore a headguard but he never got hurt. Knute Rockne of Notre Dame had respected the Northwestern team, called Woodworth one of the greatest guards in the country. But outboard motor racing is different from football; the whole thing depends on your engine more than yourself. No use fooling with your gas on a race as long as this; leaded or etherized gas has speed but lacks power, and Woodworth needed power to make the light...
