...movie classic, Citizen Kane, a powerful profile closely based on the life and times of Founder-Despot William Randolph Hearst. For 33 years, even after the boss's death in 1951, the Hearst newspapers scrupulously observed his edict and barred Welles from their pages-except for an occasional slip, usually followed by an editorial inquiry. Then six months ago Entertainment Editor Ray Loynds of the Hearst Los Angeles Herald-Examiner began the vindication of Welles on his own initiative by finally reviewing Citizen Kane on the movie page. Now his Hearstian rehabilitation moved onward and upward into the front...
...work with a "stand-up" system. Many goalies use a flop-and-stop technique, dropping to their knees or falling all the way into a split to block the puck with their heavy leg pads. The maneuver has two drawbacks: the 6-oz. vulcanized rubber disk can slip between his legs as the goalie flops; and once he is on the ice, he is helpless against rebound shots.

...gravely ill-perhaps even near death-he was flown from Athens to Paris aboard an Olympic Airways Learjet specially outfitted with medical equipment. After resting for a night at his Avenue Foch apartment near the Arc de Triomphe, Onassis checked into the American Hospital in suburban Neuilly, managing to slip unobserved through the hospital's rear door. The crowd of reporters and photographers waiting at the hospital's main entrance apparently were deliberately distracted by the arrival of an ashen-faced and obviously distraught Jackie, who was accompanied by Christina Onassis (the shipper's 24-year...
