Rookie secondbaseman Hot Rod Kanehl is the only young player of promise on the team, and despite the game determination of the fading Gil Hodges and Richie Ashburn to play again next season, the Mets may be even worse next year than they...

Ground to a uniform medium size rather than the traditional ultrafine powder, the new pepper stays put, is not as likely to be blown into noses by passing breezes. Research conducted by the company's laboratory shows that the new grind, with its larger particles and less dust, brings on 73% fewer sneezes than the old kind. Price...
