...Hazelwood did not win his battle with the bottle. Not long after he left the hospital, he was reinstated as the skipper of the Yorktown, an oil tanker that ran along the East Coast. Friends say that being closer to home helped him dry out. He regularly attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Huntington right up through 1988, but the sessions were often jammed with up to 90 alcoholics at a time. "The place was a social club," complains a former participant who remembers Hazelwood. "Only about ten or 15 people ever had a chance to talk." That seems to have...
...iron. This is a new Foreman, he is quick to advise: "Forty is no death sentence; age is only a problem if you make it one."

Kemp admitted candidly that the G.O.P. was "nowhere to be found" in the great civil rights struggles of the 1960s and vowed that his party will change. He called on South Africa to "let our people go." But such pleasantries inevitably faded as he addressed the mess at HUD, earnestly vowing...
...retirement of Craig James increases the chances that the 6-ft., 2-in., 215-lb. Hinz will make the New England roster. The former Harvard star is competing with several other rookies and free agents to win the roster spot now held by 12th-year, 34-year-old fullback Mosi Tatupu...
