Spinks Wins Bold Victory Over Ali in Las Vegas
Leon Spinks, a 24 year old Olympic champion with seven pro fights, defeated Muhammad Ali in Las Vegas to capture the heavyweight boxing title. Spinks’ youth and stamina bridged the late rounds as Ali, aging at 36, showed less snap. The victory appears earned rather than a fluke, with experts noting Spinks' readiness and timing.

Energy meeting yields little help for Ohio Edison crisis
Ohio Edison's chief executive John R. White said a Midwest energy summit did little to avert widespread cuts, warning that unless big out-of-state power or coal purchases occur soon, his utility may order a 50 percent reduction in electricity use by Tuesday. He noted Lorain County could be hit hardest as coal supplies dwindle and emphasized the need to restore coal flow, even as a Michigan utility reportedly offers up to 1,000 rail cars of coal for sale to fuel-strapped utilities.
