Olympic volleyball star Flo Hyman's death last year from Marfan's syndrome was kinder. No recriminations followed. In strictly athletic terms, the loss of Bias to the N.B.A. recalls the poignant professional football career of Syracuse Running Back Ernie Davis, the first black Heisman Trophy winner, who during the early '60s learned the Cleveland playbook while fighting leukemia and died at 23 before the first down...

But Lehman's later response to the largesse, including a letter of censure inserted last month in the retired admiral's record, indicated that Rickover's take was more substantial.

Lehman also took two Navy contracts worth $22.5 million away from the company, and will reopen...
...Mother's Keeper hit U.S. bookstores last week, Bette Davis, 77, became the latest Hollywood star to have her domestic skirts lifted by a disaffected daughter. Author B.D. (for Barbara Davis) Hyman, 38, depicts the legendary actress as an emotionally erratic, hard-drinking egomaniac who caters to her public at the expense of her family. Born to Davis during her third marriage (out of four), to Artist William Grant Sherry, Hyman reports that her mother tried in vain to see a copy of the manuscript prior to publication and fought the project furiously in phone calls and letters, saying...
