Ben Hogan would never have wet his pants over such a glory, but there are levels of ego in this. When Bjorn Borg slipped merely to second, ahead of everyone but John McEnroe, Borg had to go. Eleven years removed from his No. 1 rating...
Fire charred the paint job and gutted the interior of the white 1974 Buick Regal sedan, which was parked on Flagg St. between Mather tower and Peabody Terrace. No injuries were reported...
