...York and with his wife Sasha in their West Coast home. Recalls Dutka: "I was immediately struck by Stallone's intelligence and capacity for self-mockery." Sportswriter Tom Callahan (210 Ibs.) and Reporter-Researcher Jamie Murphy were assigned to the Holmes-Cooney confrontation. Callahan set up camp in Palm Springs, Calif., to watch Cooney's final prefight training. One night Cooney looked over at the shaggy-haired Callahan and offered to administer an on-the-spot haircut. Says Callahan: "I figured I'd go along with the joke, so I told him to take a little...
Cooney began to work for his $10 million in toasty Palm Springs, Calif, (to simulate the dry, hot climate of Las Vegas), under a gleaming white tent pitched behind the Canyon Hotel. At suppertime the parking lot was still steaming. The challenger appeared for his ring work every evening at 5 o'clock, to a tape of George Benson's mellow ballad The Greatest Love of All. Said Cooney dreamily: "Listen to the words." As his dainty hands were being double-bandaged by Trainer Victor Valle, the fighter sang along: ". . .

...Bugner, the sparring partner, knows. Bugner is a congenial Hungarian giant, less innocent than Cooney. Twice Bugner went the distance with just about the best of Ali ("I'm so proud of that"), including 15 rounds for the championship in 1975.

...Reardon fired women's basketball Coach Carole Kleinfelder after her embattled squad had completed an abysmal 4-21 season. Less than a week later, men's soccer Coach George Ford handed in his resignation, and at the end of a New England championship season men's volleyball Coach Mike Palm told his spikers that he does not intend to return next year. In addition, men's track Coach Bill McCurdy had announced last spring that he intended to end his 30-year Harvard career after the 1982 campaign, and for a while this winter football coach Joe Restic considered leaving...
...this point, no replacements have been found for Ford, Kleinfelder, or Palm and athletic department standing committees will screen applicants for each position this summer. Kleinfelder's dismissal may cause even more problems for the athletic department, because during her tenure at Harvard, she has also coached the women's lacrosse team. And unlike the hapless hoop squad, the laxwomen thrived under Kleinfelder's direction, winning three Ivy championships and two Eastern titles. Kleinfelder still hasn't decided whether or not she wants to remain at Harvard in that capacity alone, but if she chooses to go elsewhere...
