...there must be something else driving a man to run ten miles a day in the Texas heat, fight in backwater towns and suffer reporters' ridicule. Perhaps it is the memories, some to be relished, others to be expunged: the glory of Jamaica, where he hammered Smokin' Joe for the title in '73. Then, the next year, the nightmare of Africa at 4 in the morning, and the specter of Ali in the ropes, taunting him with a whisper, "Is that all you got, George?" before knocking him out in the eighth.

Residents of Rochester, where Kodak is based, have accused the company of covering up its chemical contamination of the city's groundwater...
...move was calculated to turn up the heat on Time, which had rejected Paramount's initial bid two weeks ago and instead pressed ahead with its planned merger with Warner Communications. To that end, Time and Warner on June 16 converted their original debt-free stock swap into a leveraged takeover bid in which Time would buy Warner for a total of up to $14 billion in cash and securities, a step that, among other things, eliminated the need for the deal to be approved by Time stockholders...
