...June 1975 DiNicola found himself in the incongruous scenario of participating in a badminton tournament in the Camp LeJeune arena where the boxing team usually fought. Spinks happened to walk in just after having returned from boxing in the Pan-American games.

It has attracted such diverse talents as Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola and Joe Levine. Laments Producer Norman Jewison: "You could walk into United Artists with any crazy dream, and no one would say it was preposterous." U.A.'s venturesomeness paid well too: its 1977 revenues of $469 million from movies, TV rentals, records and music publishing represented a 24% increase, while net profits for the first nine months alone were $20.8 million...
