Although the Maha rashtra government dis tributed a photograph showing Gandhi inaugurating the talent fund, the Prime Minister had not approved the use of her name. Two months ago, she wrote Antulay ordering him to remove her name from the trust. In an impassioned 50-min. speech to the state legislative assembly, Antulay admitted using her name without authorization. His excuse: "I thought I would be able to persuade Mrs. Gandhi to give her permission." But that, he insisted, was his only mistake. He declared that all the money had been used for the public good...
...minutes ahead of schedule, the train purred into the station at Lyon. The 265-mile trip, ordinarily 3 hrs. 48 min., had taken 2 hrs. 30 min. By the end of October, 38 TGV trains will be in daily operation. In 1983, TGV track will extend to Marseille, a 4 hr. 50 min. ride that will trim two hours off the present schedule. Eventually Le Train will run west to Rennes and Nantes and perhaps one day north to Brussels and London, if a channel tunnel is built...
When the bell rang for the 14th round, Leonard came out of his corner like a shot, racing over to tag Hearns with a huge left hook before the Hit Man could step out of his path.

During a 75-min. meeting on his first morning in the Oval Office after the Labor Day weekend, Budget Director David Stockman told the President that broad new cuts in federal spending would have to be made soon if Reagan were to have any chance of fulfilling his promise to erase
...remarkable job of avoiding head-to-head confrontations while assaulting the record books by themselves. The origin of their mutual dislike is obscure, but its effect on the sport is not. New records for the mile were a rarity in the years after Roger Bannister broke the 4 min. barrier in 1954. American Jim Ryun's 1967 record of 3 min. 51.1 sec., for example, endured for eight years. This year Coe and Ovett have batted the record back and forth like a Ping-Pong ball. In a mere ten days, they have swapped the record three times...
