Tangerine Bowl, December 20, at Orlando, Fla.: Maryland (8-3) versus Florida (7-4). The Terrapins' Charlie Wysocki should run wild, but the Gators have the better squad. Together with the home field advantage, Florida's superior talent and the experience of playing tough games (it held second-ranked Florida State close last weekend) should push the Gators over...
...Webster-Collegiate, with which the OAD is intended to compete, still probably has the edge. Despite its smaller type, Webster's vastly greater scope, superior graphics (the OAD has none) and convenient thumb index (not available in the OAD) and $11.95 price tag make it still the better...
Nationally, an ABC News-Louis Harris survey showed that 57% of the people questioned expected Reagan to do a good job in general, and a thumping 72% thought he would "strengthen U.S. defense capabilities to be at least equal or superior to the Soviet Union's."

He showed superior tactical skill, never wasting a punch and landing virtually all those he threw. With a 3-in. advantage in reach, he stabbed Duran in the face with a jab of crackling speed and accuracy. He counterpunched furiously when Duran managed to close on him, and though Duran landed several walloping rights, Leonard shook them off and returned the fire. When the fight ended, Leonard summed up: "Duran has heart. He's been a great champion...
