Now Frazier and Yank Durham, his trainer-manager are trying desperately to get a return fight with George Foreman, who stopped Joe in two rounds at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22. A Foreman-Frazier fight is one of the very few major attractions open for competition among the leading pro­ moters, all of whom are based in the United States. Efforts are being made in England to pull Joe Bugmer and Danny McAlinden into the Big Fight ranks but the impression exists in well informed circles that neither qualifies. Putting together the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, which were scattered to the winds by the Foreman victory over Frazier and the Ken Norton defeat of Ali, is a task which has eligible promoters stymied. Heavyweight champion George Foreman gets warm welcome from students at E. 0. Smith Despite the fact that Ali was a Junior High in Houston, the school he attended as a youth. $3,200,000 victim of the Frazier debacle, he stood out as the wise man of the limited coterie of top-flight heavies until he took Norton too lightly.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1 a, 1971 Ex-Addicts Face Challenge of a New Life By DORIS KULMAN Dec. 6 was a red letter day in the. life of 28-year-old Domin- ick Vincelli of long Branch. That's the day he went home to his wife and two children "for good." Mr. Vincelli left home 14& months ago, a jail sentence over his head an an $80-a-day heroin habit on his back. He en- tered Discovery House, the addict rehabilitation center on the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital grounds, to begin the tough struggle to make himself a free man. Two months ago, he began "re-entry," that phase of Dis- covery House therapy designed to ease the ex-addict's way back into society. For Mr. Vincelli, who had been what he calls "a drug fiend" for 10 years, that means working in the Discovery House outreach center in Long Branch. At first, he continued living in the house, with an occasional visit home. Last week's permission to live at home nurtures his hope that he soon will be a Discovery House "graduate." He now gets a $27-a-week token salary and expects a full- time job with Discovery House when he graduates. The pro- gram has a limited number of staff jobs for ex-addicts. "Then I will be making enough to support my family and my wife can get off welfare," he says.

  • National Association of Attorneys General Boxing Task Force
    National Association of Attorneys General Boxing Task Force MAY, 2000 I. Origin of the National Association of Attorneys General Boxing Task Force On January 1, 1997, the Professional Boxing Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 6301, et seq., became law. The Act establishes minimum health, safety, and ethical guidelines for the boxing industry. In July 1997, the Senate sponsors of the Act, John McCain (AZ) and Richard Bryan (NV), wrote to Robert Pitofsky, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), to request that the Commission review "business practices that occur in the professional boxing industry." The FTC concluded that the state Attorneys General could play an important role in investigating and perhaps curbing potential abuse in this industry, since boxing is regulated on the state level by individual athletic commissions. National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) agreed to form a task force comprised of the major "boxing states."1 The New York State Attorney General volunteered to head the Task Force. In March 1998, the NAAG Boxing Task Force was formally established with the New York Attorney General as Chair and the Illinois Attorney General as Vice-Chair. Eighteen states participated in the work of the Task Force: Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico. The Task Force was charged with examining the boxing industry, identifying the existing problems and proposing recommendations
