...Lean and tall at 147-lbs., Simms, the man they called the Scorpion, baited the more stocky Ramos with stuff left leads and quick counter-punching jabs. Early in round two, Simms staggered his opponent repeatedly, but could but knock him out. The judges gave the local fighter a unanimous verdict by scores...
...Malfa, 75, newly named Deputy Premier of Italy and venerated leader of his country's small but influential Republican Party; of a stroke; in Rome. Active in the anti-Fascist resistance during World War II, the Sicilian-born La Malfa established himself as a champion of lean, efficient government and unfettered private enterprise while serving in seven governments and every parliament since 1946.

In it, the fuel is essentially divided into two mix tures of gas and air, one of which is "rich" (high on the gas) and one "lean" (high on air). The two mixtures are burned in sequence in the combustion chamber, and this produces 20% more mileage and few er emissions than conventional engines. However, the proco requires high-pressure fuel pumps and complex fuel injec tors that must be machined to microscopic tolerances. Ford is putting...
Lindsey Nelson was the New York Mets. In the lean years of 1962-1968, he spoke like an indulgent uncle, viewing the unreasonable incompetence of this "baseball team" with the serene knowledge that somehow this all could change. Like the good company man he always was, he touted the virtues of the Larry Stahls as well as the Tom Seavers, the Don Boschs as well as the Cleon Joneses...
