...kind of affluence such names suggest are never tough enough when the game is on the line. "You can't win with three-car-garage guys," Carril insists. "With two-car-garage guys, you got a chance." Says Kit Mueller, a student of economics who is the anchor of this year's team: "We've got a one- door garage with a divider in it, so I guess...
...already against her. And they don't seem to have changed their minds: after nearly four years as the top-rated morning show, Today has slipped in the past six weeks to No. 2, behind ABC's Good Morning America. CBS, in the meantime, has dumped its morning co-anchor, Kathleen Sullivan -- oddly, just when the program's third-place ratings were inching upward.

Oh, yes, and she has an eight-month-old daughter at home. Looks like she came to play...
...apparently just plain bad luck that as the tanker American Trader was unloading off Southern California's Huntington Beach last week, a sudden swell caused an anchor to tear a 3-ft. gash in the ship's forward compartment. Working by night, the crew plugged the hole within four hours, but an estimated 300,000 gal. of crude poured into the Pacific. At week's end the oil slick covered a 30-sq.-mi. area and was starting to foul beaches and wildlife refuges...
