"Larry's who he is, he held his own for as long as he could until he met me," said Spinks, he is 28.4. "I think he shouldn't worry about what people say about him. He should watch what he says so he doesn't make enemies. He's building a real deep ditch for himself.
Spinks is trying hard not to emulate the behavior of the man from whom he won the title.
"That's one reason I try to stay out of the public's eye as much as I can." Watching Leon deterrence laughthoughts as coach gave him Spizik's second thoughts about boxing. He fought just twice between February 1978 and February 1980. He eventually realized sorting Leon's life was too large a task and returned to the ring full-time.

When he started boxing again, it didn't take long to become light heavyweight champ. Spinks won the World Boxing Association title on a 12-month run over Eddie Musaida Muhammad Jumail 18, 1981 in his 17th pro fight.
"I couldn't believe all the things he said to me before the first fight. He just tried to strip me of everything, he called me and Butch (promo) for fangos. He asked my brother and took it down as a person
So Spinks tries to be a classy champion. After workouts, he signs autographs for about a half hour without complaint.
He unified the light heavweight title in 1833, then became the first reigning 175-pound champion to win a world championship. He knocked off Holmes last September.
"I kept telling Larry, 'Let's make it a class act instead of stripping each other down. All the rumors about him are enough, let's not add to the junk.'"
Spinks watched his older brother Leon upset Muhammad Ali in February 1978. The euphoria of that triumph soon turned to depression. Life as champion brought Leon Spinks a bevy of financial and personal problems. His tenure as champion mercifully ended after just nine months when he lost the title back to Ali.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Michael Spinks has his first close-up look at the heavyweight championship eight years ago, and it almost scared him out of boxing.
Along with trying to avoid the problems his brother had as champion,
Michael Spinks pulled off a similarly-shocking upset last September when he won a 15-round decision over Larry Holmes to capture the International Boxing Federation title. He hopes that that's where the repeat of history ends. He is fighting a rematch with Holmes tomorrow night. Spinks remembers what happened to Leon — in the ring and out — as champion, and he is determined avoid those mistakes.

Kristiansen, 30, who once simultaneously held the women's world records for the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs as well as the marathon, said that breaking the 2:20 barrier was worth winning than winning the Boston Marathon.
BOSTON — Foreigners are favored in the men's and women's divisions of the Boston Marathon and former winner Greg Meyer says American runners are no longer striving to win.
In the women's field, Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway is the overwhelming favorite and is willing to gamble the Boston title in an attempt to break the 2 hours, 20 minutes, barrier.
"I don't see a lot of Americans thinking about winning, only about doing well and getting a good time," said the 1983 marathon champion, whose toughest opponents in Monday's race are most likely to be Rob Castella of Australia and Orlando Pizzolato of Italy.
Meyer recalled when he and Alberto Salazar were running shoulder-to-
"I will take a chance of being number three instead of running 2:22 and winning for sure," she said. "To be the first to do that is important."
The man regarded as the world's top marathoner, Steve Jones of England, is not competing because of tendinitis in his foot. In Boston to work as a television commentator, Jones was philosophical about not running in the 80th annual marathon, which has drawn a top field because it is awarding prize money for the first time.

VERY FEW WOMEN BECOME ALCOHOLIC.
In the 1950's there were 5 or 6 alcoholic men to every woman. Now the ratio is about 3 to 1. Evidently this is one area where women's liberation is catching on too well.
