...Saturn factory is the only GM plant in the U.S. still turning out cars. Leaders at Saturn's Local 1853, angry over a management decision to cut negotiated bonuses from $1,400 to $390, among other issues, planned a vote for Sunday on whether to strike the New Age plant. The angst is spreading, with union locals at GM plants in Dayton, Ohio; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Bowling Green, Ky., talking about their own job actions once the Flint strike is settled. GM insists it is just trying to stay competitive in outmoded plants, but the company's tough stance...
...field. Juan Gonzalez may beat the record for RBIs that Hack Wilson set in 1930. The Yankees threaten to win more games this year than the 1906 Cubs, who won 116. Rookie pitcher Kerry Wood tied the record of 20 strikeouts in a game--and did it at age 20. The most famous mark in sports, Roger Maris' single-season home-run record of 61 in 1961 (Can you see why we weep?), is being attacked on three fronts: McGwire, who had 42 homers as of Saturday (only a bit more than halfway through the season), has been joined...
There's no shame in this for Senior, though, because Junior has since eclipsed everyone playing the game, McGwire included. At the age of 28, he has already hit more than 300 homers; only three players in history have done it at a younger age. During one stretch in 1993, he homered in eight consecutive games, tying the major league record. Last season, after hitting .304, leading the American League in runs and RBIs, socking 56 home runs and winning an eighth straight Gold Glove, he was unanimously voted the league's most valuable player. "When you look at what...
...with a mortal disdain that will outlast any record he can set. Even so, Griffey and McGwire could make it to the record and beyond, to that Elysian realm where a man seems to stand for something good about the nation and the age. They could achieve that titanic Ruthian grace because of who they are, and who we are, right...
Infant massage? It sounds more like a New Age ritual than an internationally recognized alternative therapy. But studies at the Touch Research Institute have found that preemies massaged three times a day for as few as five days consistently fare better than equally frail babies who don't get massages. Full-term infants and older babies also benefit from them. The International Association of Infant Massage, which held its annual conference last month in Orlando, Fla., estimates that 10,000 parents took infant-massage training last year. New converts say it helps their babies sleep better, relieves colic and helps...
