Like Sugar Ray Leonard against Roberto Duran, Hearns selected masculinity for a style, if the choice was his. "I started out slugging because I had to, it was there," he insists. "Marvin started running in. I had to protect myself." Like Duran, Hearns learned the leaden lesson of moving a few pounds up, in his case from 154 lbs. to 160, where men no longer fall apart when you hit them...
...years removed from his two losses in 65 fights, to Philadelphians Willie ("the Worm") Monroe and Bobby ("Boogaloo") Watts, the champion has finally turned the public corner at 30, after coming down that bravest street in boxing, where Stanley Ketchel, Harry Greb, Tony Zale, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, Sugar Ray Robinson and all the veterans of middleweight wars hang out. The usual lopsided faces congregated again last week in Las Vegas, not just for the big fight but for LaMotta's sixth wedding. Jake is 0 and 5. In the middle of the ceremony at Joey Maxim's place...
...five large, airy but rather impersonal rooms. It is furnished with several comfortable armchairs, but the President slept on a standard metal hospital bed.

Reagan's doctors acknowledged that some cancer cells may have spread from the President's colon and could seed new tumors. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to prevent them from seeding. Radiotherapy, or X-ray treatment, which sometimes works well to prevent recurrences of breast or lung cancers, has not generally proved effective against recurring cancers of the colon. And chemotherapy, or drug treatment, which works well against leukemia and cancers of the lymphatic system, will not help. "Currently available information is that chemotherapy does not improve survival" for colorectal cancer patients, Rosenberg said...
