Sexy Guy. It appears that there may have been yet another woman in F.D.R.'s life and libido. Not just any woman, but Dorothy Scruff, coquettish, aging (73) heiress to the Kuhn, Loeb investment-banking fortune and longtime publisher, editor-in-chief and sole owner of the New York Post. In an authorized biography, Men, Money and Magic: The Story of Dorothy Schiff (Coward, McCann & Geoghegan; $9.95), to be published in October, Author Jeffrey Potter quotes Dolly Schiff as admitting to a "relationship" with Roosevelt from 1936 to 1943-when she was in her thirties...
...Iran's largest women's magazine, "is a fattish, short, big-busted woman with poor makeup, and totally out of fashion." ∙ "She predicted we wouldn't do well against Chicago last weekend, and they kicked the living dickens out of us," noted Oakland Athletics Owner Charles Finley of his new employee.

They found six, among them the owner of a Long Island Midas Muffler franchise and an Islip doctor. The six put up $390,000, and Lemongello worked out a plan to hit the New York metropolitan-area market, as he puts it, "like a slow-release time bomb." He cut a two-record album, Love 76, then in January activated his bomb: a 13-week, $187,000 campaign...
...fans weep for the professional athlete, even when he is hospitalized. He is young, heavily muscled and even more heavily compensated. A six-figure income does much to assuage pain and indignity. The essential concern is with that "entire generation's concept of sport." A fan, an owner or a player who comes to be lieve a pitcher has the right to injure a batter may as well believe that Bobby Fischer has a right to kick over the chessboard when he is threatened, or that order itself is an outmoded idea...
