Clay, it is true, won't lower Texas's publicized hate quotient by moving to Houston, as thirty seconds of lip-baring during the pre-round-one rule recitation amply displayed. But he never whimpered about Terrell's consistent fouling. Any humiliation he administered was both fully merited and infinitely more legitimate than the challenger's behavior. And if the champ did denigrate his beaten opponent, it was only after Terrell had alibied his defeat with a story of having an eye rubbed on the ropes, a claim that seemed totally unfounded...
...which Newburgh, New York, gave its name, but which Governor Reagan has brought to a point of high political style. Further, Negro leaders and activists are apt themselves to come from the most solid, even rigid family backgrounds and probably have real difficulty pecreiving or acknowledging the realities of lower-class life. And so on, down a long line of reasons, any one of which is sufficient to explain why, even when the subject is broached, as in the Howard speech, it barely makes its way into the press accounts, being an issue, as the Economist noted at the time...
...foothills of the Himalayas represented similar species of manlike beings that lived between 10 million and 14 million years ago-in the Upper Miocene. In the hopes of finding their ancestors, Leakey in 1965 began a search of museum drawers and showcases for bone fragments of the Lower Miocene-and came across the familiar Sivapithecus and Proconsul remains. Applying 14 standard tests of the shape and size of jawbones and teeth to these long-ignored bone fragments, Leakey concluded that their characteristics were definitely more manlike than apelike, and reclassified them as Kenyapithecus africanus. Unlike the rectangular, one-rooted molars...

As the effects ripple through the economy, this could mean lower borrowing costs for businessmen, home buyers and other consumers, give a nudge to such sluggish segments of the economy as housing, auto and appliance sales...
...British Prime Ministers, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler and the finance chiefs of Germany, France and Italy. Their aim: coordinated reduction of interest rates in the U.S. and Europe. They agreed, Callaghan reported last week, that "interest rates are too high and that we aim at a generally lower structure of rates." Despite its apparent desire to ease interest rates further, the U.S. Federal Reserve cannot just turn on the spigot unless there is comparable action abroad. At least $2 billion of interest-sensitive Eurodollars-U.S. dollars on deposit in foreign banks-poured back into the U.S. last...
