...hard. They have reason to: on the average, People Express workers own $20,000 worth of stock in the company. The onetime schoolteachers, anthropologists and art historians recruited by Burr seem to thrive in a company that has no secretaries or plush offices, and whose chief financial officer, Robert McAdoo, helps serve coffee on some flights. Says McAdoo: "We're all in this together...

...Rowe, McAdoo and Wicks are gone, and the winters of the Celtics' discontent have ended. The arrival of a new Bird (Larry, the No. 2 college scorer for the previous two years and the paradigm of a team player) and the revival of the old Cowens (Dave, the fiery redhead whose intensity inspires others) have combined to rejuvenate a franchise that had lost touch with its legacy.
