...Hahn and into the back of the net to go up 1-0. URI, using the momentum accumulated during the first half, scored early in the second half off an excellent through pass to push the lead to 2-0 in the 61st minute.

All but gone is the man who impressed the world with his spunk--teasing his doctors just days after surgery, asking for beer, talking forthrightly with President Reagan by phone and bullishly announcing to the world, "I feel like I've got ten years left." Three strokes, one suffered in mid-November, have left the once irrepressible Schroeder feeble, barely able to speak, weepy and depressed. His fondest hope--to return...
...Turner earn the nickname Captain Courageous in his sailing days. As skipper of the yacht Courageous, which won the 1977 America's Cup, he had a knack for snatching victory from sure defeat. In the equally competitive and treacherous world of business, the cable-TV king showed his spunk and resilience once again last week. Just as Turner admitted that his quixotic attempt to take over CBS had capsized, he announced two bold new ventures for the burgeoning Turner Broadcasting System (TBS).
