...Reign's End. Detractors lay much of the blame to an aging but not notably mellow Schenley spirit: Chairman Lewis Solon Rosenstiel, 75. Rosenstiel founded the company shortly before repeal in 1933, and remains its dominant shareholder, controlling stock worth some $55 million. Ever contentious, he has for decades feuded with the industry over various marketing practices; more recently, he has spent much of his time in and out of court waging private wars with, among others, his estranged fourth wife, his daughter, one of his own lawyers, and his Greenwich, Conn., neighbors...
With that victory behind them, B.U. will play Cornell tonight in the first all Eastern final in 18 years. Michigan's defeat ended a 13-year reign by Western teams in the NCAA tourney...

Even more admirable than the way he bore Terrell was Ali's toleration of Howard Cosell, the New York big-mouth who now seems to have exclusive rights to conversations with Ali. Howie used every opportunity in the early period of Ali's reign to speak condescendingly and broadly intimate that every win was worthless or a fluke. Now he devotes his words to each challenger's courage and gameness. When Cosell started praising Terrell to Ali's face, we had faint hopes that the champ would make good his pre-fight threat that he would turn on the sportscaster...
