...Shortley papers indicate that Donovan, despite his denials of knowing about the work of the Schiavone detectives, apparently had been in touch with the company's top investigator. Shortley noted that he had been assigned to "check out names Ray gave me and be prepared to discuss [at] dinner meeting on 3/22 or thereabouts."

When Sugar Ray Leonard, 27, announced last December that he was returning to the ring after two years in retirement, fans of the former welterweight champion were divided between celebration and concern. Some doctors warned that the fighter, who has had operations on the retinas of both eyes, was recklessly risking his vision.

He must step up efforts to bring black leaders like Mel King and City Councilor Bruce C. Bolling...
...sonorities in the muddled motives with which they confront memory, fate and each other. A Moon for the Misbegotten, his last completed play, is structurally the simplest of the late great work. It is also perhaps the most anguished, because O'Neill was searching so hard for a ray of hope in the dawn that completes this long night's journey into...
