Harvard gave new meaning to the words "futile gesture" as it cut the gap to 8-3 in the first three minutes of period two--Millen converted a rebound on a George Hughes post-puncher and freshman Dave Burke, who now leads the Crimson in goals with 15, put home a snapshot from the right face-off circle. Equlibrium was restored on Doug Berk's second marker of the evening, a tip-in of Gemmell's slapper from the point...
...craft. His championship had been a bully pulpit, and he eagerly sought it once more. The Muslims had softened their separatist hard line, and with that there was less raw, reverse-racism talk from Ali. Finally Ali reclaimed his crown in Kinshasa, Zaïre. George Foreman, the hardest puncher since Sonny Listen, spent himself pounding Muhammad Ali ceaselessly?and uselessly?on the ropes one early African morning. Ali again was the underdog, but it was his galvanic personality that drew the attention of the world...
...ticket puncher recommends two pornographic films, The Devil in Miss Jones, and The White Rainbow, but she's generally in-different to movies. I leave her mixing and downing endless shots of soda and worcestershire sauce in the uppermost of a stack of miniature paper cups. She gets a kick out of the way it fizzes.

Now he was simply letting...
...sheer strength-and it would seem to give him an overwhelming advantage next week. At 25, Foreman is at his powerful peak. With legs as thick as railroad ties and arms that resemble oak limbs, the 6-ft. 3-in., 225-lb. (fighting weight) Foreman is the most feared puncher since Sonny Listen. After a few blows from Foreman, the average heavy punching bag begins to look like a pancake. So do most of his opponents; none of his last eight fights have gone beyond the second round. Says his trainer, Dick Sadler, a shrewd old boxing hand who once...
