...Amsterdam News (circ. 66,000) is the largest nonreligious black weekly (the Muslim Bilalian News, formerly Muhammad Speaks, claims a circulation of 583,000). For most of its 67 years, the Amsterdam News has catered to the middle-class aspirations of Harlem's business and professional people. It is sold 90% on the newsstand, and its blazing red front-page headlines stress crime and gossip. But the rest of its news comes in quieter hues: close attention to black politics, knowledgeable reviews of black art, music and books, a World of Work page that offers stories on the movements...
Heavyweight Champ Muhammad AM says he is slowing up at 33, but he is still fast enough to suit one admirer, Photographer-Actress Candice Bergen. After snapping pix at ringside as Ali battered English Boxer Richard Dunn in Munich, Candy rhapsodized: "He's so breathtakingly beautiful, absolutely dazzling. He's just like a mirrored ball.

Susan, 18, who had first met him at the White House last March, had come to see Ali before his title defense against third-ranked Heavyweight Jimmy Young. "I used to watch him box on television," she said of the champ. "I had no choice; my brothers used to watch, and we only had one TV set." She said she would like to have seen this fight...
...Dylan had been singing for it. Muhammad Ali had given speeches for it. Selwyn Raab, a New York Times reporter, had pushed for it in a series of crusading investigative articles. Finally, last week it came about: the nine-year-old murder conviction of Rubin ("Hurricane") Carter, 38, and also that of his friend John Artis, 30, was unanimously thrown out by the seven justices of the New Jersey Supreme Court. The "defendants' right to a fair trial was substantially prejudiced," said Justice Mark Sullivan, because the prosecution had failed to disclose evidence about the reliability...
