Instead, Seattle let Clemens off the hook with another passable playoff outing. In an effective but hardly unforgettable performance by both starters, Clemens and Seattle’s Paul Abbott combined to give up just one hit but 12 walks. Both were pulled after five innings of work—well before the fate of the crucial game was settled—and each received a no-decision...
...like the border patrol, to reorder their spending priorities. His staff is expected to be about 100 strong, many detailed from other agencies. Ridge has already picked Mark Holman, his oldest and most trusted political associate, to run the operation as chief of staff, and is eyeing Admiral Steve Abbott, who has been the military voice on the homeland-security staff currently housed in the Vice President's office. White House officials say Ridge will have as much access to the President as Condoleezza Rice, the National Security Adviser. In the currency of Washington, that's saying...
Bowles chose to have repairs done at Evergreen in part because the 747 he bought was already stored there and needed work before it could fly. A conflict quickly emerged. Leigh Abbott, AFX's representative at Evergreen, says he was not allowed to veto work, change a work order or challenge the time and parts charges--standard industry practices.

...amazement, Abbott says, he discovered that Evergreen had drilled a hole in the wrong place in a flap track on the left wing, creating a serious flight-safety risk by weakening the entire track. (The flap track supports one of the four flaps on the plane, a critical flight surface.) In another case, also described in the lawsuit, Evergreen was instructed to inspect and lubricate the flap carriage on the wing. (Lubrication is an essential flight-safety issue: failure to lubricate an internal part properly is thought to be the leading cause of the Alaska Airlines crash...
DIED. ROSALIE GWATHMEY, 92, photographer of Southern black life and mother of the architect Charles Gwathmey; in Amagansett, N.Y. In the 1940s, Gwathmey chronicled the communities around her hometown of Charlotte, N.C. In 1951 she and a group of her New York colleagues, including Dorothea Lange and Berenice Abbott, were deemed subversive, and in 1955, frustrated by the inhospitable atmosphere, she threw out her negatives and walked away from her craft. For the rest of her life, Gwathmey and the photographic community rarely celebrated her work, until a 1994 show revived interest in her photographs of everyday Southern life...
