...sort out important issues," says Secretary of Agriculture John Block of his open-road hours as a long-distance runner. Ruminating and running, Block, 46, looked as cool as an Illinois-grown cucumber as he glided across the finish line of the 85th Boston Marathon in 3 hr. 6 min. 49 sec. Still, Block was well to the rear of Toshihiko Seko, 24, a compact Japanese import who set a U.S. marathon record of 2:09:26, and New Zealander Allison Roe, 24, who came from down under and well back in the pack of 6,845 runners...
...first screening of Heaven's Gate. The critics had praised Cimino's pictorial and political extravagances in The Deer Hunter; here he was describing another romantic triangle tested in time of war.

...artfully landed Columbia right on the runway's center line. Eager to make an exit, he urged Houston to get the reception crews to speed up their "sniffing" chores-ridding the ship of noxious gases with exhausts and fans. When he was finally allowed to emerge, 63 min. after touchdown, he bounded down the stairs, checked out the tiles and landing gear, then jubilantly jabbed the air with his fists. It was probably Young's most uncontrolled move of the entire flight...
Louis' most famous fight lasted a mere 2 min. 4 sec. In a rematch with Max Schmeling, who had kayoed him in 1936, Louis redefined fury. Schmeling had to recover in a hospital. Now 75 and a prosperous West German businessman, Schmeling last week recalled his postwar friendship with Louis: "Joe was a highly decent person, but he was exploited because he was so good-natured...
