Blunt-mannered Helen Delich Bentley, 56, wife of an antiques dealer, covered the waterfront for 16 years as a reporter for the Baltimore Sun. Her salty language and dukes-up style endeared her to dock workers. She once punched a stevedore in a bar when he compared her nose to a ski jump. Her expletives-undeleted report from the tanker Manhattan, during its 1969 voyage through the Northwest Passage, caused her to be banned from using the ship's radio...

The second round also belonged to Hagler, as he landed solid combinations to Minter's eyes and nose, which had been bloodied in the first stanza.

Nor is he accustomed to prominence. Walesa was working as an electrician in the Lenin Shipyard in 1970, when bloody riots broke out over food prices and prompted him to join the yard's strike committee. Just before the recurrence of rioting in 1976, he was fired for criticizing national economic policies...
