...should get out of the House more often. In the eyes of many voters, "out with the boys" is a good place to be. We suggest a bowling league in suburban Virginia. What could be fairer than Joe Reagan waiting on line for a Bud and pretzels, the words "Ace Hardware" embroidered across the back of his electric-blue, un tucked in bowling jersey...
Insubordination has always been rife on Weaver's teams. He and Catcher Rick Dempsey act out their disagreements by throwing shin guards. "The only thing Earl knows about pitching," onetime Ace Dave McNally declared for all time, "is that he couldn't hit it."

In the second round, however, as expected, West Germany beat China. The team disappeared from the competition. And Hu Na, 19, disappeared from the team. She was, in fact, defecting to the U.S. For American immigration officials. Hu's decision put the ball in their court with a tricky bit of backspin, since approval of her request will imply a certain level of political persecution back home...
