...children, he grew up lisping when he talked and lashing out when he was frustrated. One of his strongest motivations for not losing is the thought of the schoolyard taunting that he fears would await his children. He left school in the seventh grade, the year his father, a manual laborer, left home. Holmes laments his lack of education. In a dream he had before his 1980 fight with Ali, he is in the ring fighting when he hears the voice of Howard Cosell droning "Holmes is throwing a profusion punches." And panic seizes him. He does not know what...
...more reasonable objection to raising the retirement age is voiced by Harvard Economist William Hsiao. Says he: "Armchair professors and bureaucrats who sit behind desks pushing a pencil all day can work until age 68 without any serious difficulty," but manual workers are too worn out by physical labor to stay on the job that long. Others insist that many of the people who now retire at 62 do so less because of choice than because of failing health or inability to find another job if they are laid off in their early 60s.

Reason: he claims that the book, which has sold 183,000 hardcover copies and is now on the paperback bestseller lists, is half his-the result of collaboration in and out of bed with Author Irene Kassorla during a passionate romance that cooled in June 1978. Kassorla, a fiftyish Bel Air psychologist, admits the affair but denies working with Margolis. Says Margolis plaintively: "She wanted us to become the Masters...
...description of sexual harassment, but says only that "an undergraduate in Harvard College who feels he or she has been subjected to discrimination" should contact his or her senior tutor. Orr said this statement is not sufficient. "The only place where sexual harassment is defined is in the personnel manual, because the labor law--Title VII--is much stricter," she added...
