...Cuban heavyweight who provided Bobick with a closeup view of the canvas. Now he sees Bobick posing with his Italian girlfriend, with his dog, running on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Like Rocky. This is all because Mr. Duane Bobick is going to fight Mr. Ken Norton on May 11th in Madison Square Garden. Long John also remembers Ken Norton. Norton is that movie star who made some guy named Ali sweat to hold onto his crown. But Bobick is 38-0, the magazine says. Bobick KO'ed Chuck Wepner, the Bleeder from Bayonne, in six rounds...

Williams, 49, the brilliant dean of U.C.L.A.'S Graduate School of Management and former chairman of Norton Simon Inc., the consumer-products conglomerate. After his expected confirmation by the Senate, Williams will replace Roderick M. Hills, chairman since 1975, who had told Carter that he wanted to leave by April...
...created more than another dent in the former champ's fragile ego. They put a crimp in the multimillion-dollar plans of Promoter Don King to get Foreman back in the ring for a rematch with Titleholder Muhammad Ali. After flirting with retirement following his victory over Ken Norton last fall, the aging Ali has signed to fight unknown Italian Lorenzo Zanon for about $4 million in Korea this May. Zanon, not even heavyweight champ in his own country, will presumably be paid in pasta for the anticipated pasting...
