...uncertainties about the future of one of the nation's most prestigious and influential companies. While a five-member management team searches for a permanent successor to Wyman, Paley will be acting chairman and Tisch will serve as chief executive. For the 84-year-old Paley, it is a triumphant return to a throne that he had never really wanted to relinquish. But clearly the man who has captured control of CBS is Tisch, 63. The shrewd investor and conglomerateur is now far and away the company's largest shareholder, with 24.9% of its stock (Paley is next with...
Palmer has sprayed triumphant shots all over the globe. A number of plaques commemorate them: at Royal Birkdale in England, where a particular six-iron took the British Open; at Cherry Hills near Denver, where they told him he was too far behind in the U.S. Open, so he drove the first green, a par four, and won.

"Maradona is only part of the team...
...Poland, it seems, while nothing is really new, a good deal has changed. Though frequent demonstrations show that opposition still runs deep, Jaruzelski was able to put on a triumphant face before the congress. Solidarity, perhaps the greatest threat to Communist rule in the East bloc since Czechoslovakia's uprising in 1968, had at last been all but crushed after the capture two weeks earlier of Zbigniew Bujak, the underground's mastermind. Former leaders who are free, like Lech Walesa, the sturdy electrician from Gdansk, have withdrawn from public life. Partly because of Solidarity's collapse, the Catholic Church...
