Then how do those officials describe what is going on? "Moving in the right direction," says Bill Clinton. "A sustainable economic recovery," asserts Laura D'Andrea Tyson, head of the President's Council of Economic Advisers.

"Iron Mike" is eligible for parole in May 1995 but probably won't fight again -- if at all -- before the end of that year. Says Muhammad Nassardeen, a black businessman from Inglewood, California, who recently gave Bowe an award recognizing him as a positive role model for black youths: "If Tyson never fights again, it puts a little shadow on Riddick...
