...champion arm wrestler. Who will challenge me?" roared British Actor Oliver Reed (Women in Love) as he swaggered into a rustic, 160-year-old drinking and dining establishment in Stowe, Vt. A customer jokingly volunteered, but before the two men could lock forearms, Reed, 43, turned the contest into a genuine barroom donnybrook, with the brawlers flipping furniture and smashing beer bottles. Handcuffed and manacled, the actor was arrested on charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct. He spent the night at Lamoille County's Hyde Park jail, then had to come up with $4,000 bail.

...leave for a lecture in Central America, he is approached by Marty Nolan, a contact from the old days. It seems that something funny is going on in the Republic of Tecan, currently a safe haven for U.S. interests. "Our ambassador is a Birchite moron," Nolan reports.

Sweeping curves--either leading into or coming out of narrow-arched bridges--almost guarantee that some gutsy coxswain will make his move, only to lock oars with another crew or be driven into a bridge abutment. Good seats from which to watch all the action can be found anywhere along the river between the Weeks and Eliot Bridges...
...even the meanest job for long. He has been running wild so long now that he may be beyond redemption. Ghetto children today are seduced much earlier by drugs and the street, some of them as young as eight or nine. That is the time they need help. Sinbad Lock wood, a Bed-Stuy street artist who tries to wean boys like Baby Love away from the streets to painting, says, "It be the parents' fault, they gets rid of the kids by sending them to the candy store where they be buying reefer and beer. These kids...
