...permutation. "It's so ludicrous," she told the Miami Herald. "Pulitzer is definitely deranged and desperate for the almighty buck. How can one take him seriously?" The Kimberlys met when she was 17, and seven years ago, they came close to divorcing. Both Jacquie Kimberly and Sportsman James Kimberly, who affects a single earring, have been subpoenaed to testify. Says Jacquie: "It's fortunate for me that my husband is such a strong, secure person." At least "in our fight," she adds, "no one else was involved...

But in a way that tends to astonish all of the people some of the time, and infuriate some of the people all of the time, he continues to be an utterly original American sportsman.

With Amin now in asylum in Saudi Arabia, Director Sharad Patel has felt free to turn this biopic into a minstrel show of atrocity. Amin struts across his domain like Kong with a salad of Day-Glo medals pinned to his chest. Amin expels Asian workers from Uganda and distributes the spoils to his private army of hitmen. Amin services...
DIED. William DeWitt, 79, hustling, persuasive baseball-club owner and executive, affiliated with nine pennant winners in both leagues, who began his 50-year career selling soda in St. Louis' Sportsman's Park; in Cincinnati. In 1944, DeWitt, general manager of the hapless St. Louis Browns, helped drive the team to its first and only pennant. His astute trades while general manager of the Cincinnati Reds helped "the Ragamuffin Reds" clinch the pennant in 1961, the club's first in 21 years...
