...meager livings as garbage men, roofers or bar bouncers while they pursued dreams of championships. Until they performed in front of the 3,000 Navy men and women at ringside-and, more important, the network's cameras-few of them had ever earned purses large enough to cover gym fees. Only once before, for example, had 13 5-lb. Lightweight Johnny Sullivan, from North...
Some New York staffers-who are not generally overpaid-have loudly objected to Felker's costly personal and professional style. When the magazine moved in 1974 to expensive new quarters on Manhattan's Second Avenue, the boss installed a gym. He also carved out a staff dining room (he had it redecorated several times) and installed a $25,000-a-year chef, who signed each day's menus "Felipe-Executive Chef...

However, Harvard basketball is almost always respectable. After one disastrous season, Michael is breaking out his shovel, but his burial plans are just a little early. Judging a very young and inexperienced team on the basis of its first four games is absurd, and any objective reporter, not to mention a home-town one, would not make...
