...trouble with the kids, what with Christina, 20, getting married last summer to 47-year-old Los Angeles Real Estate Broker Joe Bolker, and Alexander, 23, going steady with 39-year-old Divorcee Fiona Thyssen. Onassis, though, has a kind of authority not given to all parents: a multimillion-dollar trust fund that Alexander and Christina will begin to enjoy on Dec. 11-provided Daddy Ari approves. Alexander has begun dismissing talk about Fiona as "nonsense," and Christina has gone off to London, leaving Husband Bolker at home to cancel the invitations he had sent out for her 21st birthday...
...picked up $300,000 for the light workout (Mathis' cut was $60,000), which was designed as a promotional prelude to the expected multimillion-dollar rematch with Champion Joe Frazier. Trouble is, Ali and Frazier so outclass the other contenders that in tuning up for their second "fight of the century" (Muhammad meets Germany's Jurgen Blin next month, Joe fights Texan Terry Daniels in January), they seem to be reviving the old bum-of-the-month club...

Last week the Taiwan government announced three new multimillion-dollar investments from abroad -an American fiber plant, an Austrian steel mill and a Hong Kong housing project-but overall foreign investments have already dropped from a record $139 million last year to an estimated $100 million for this year...
...depth of a mud puddle, but Director William Friedkin (The Night They Raided Minsky's) sets such a frantic pace that there is hardly a chance to notice, much less care. The connection is a French businessman (Fernando Rey) who arrives in New York City with a multimillion-dollar shipment of high-grade heroin stashed underneath a car door. By dumb luck, a couple of tough narcs get onto the deal and chase "Frog 1" and his friends all around the town, turning New York into Gun City in the process...
