First the good news for American League pitchers: Jim Rice does not try to hit home runs. Now for the bad news: he hits home runs anyway, often enough so far to titillate the statistics keepers. The Boston Red Sox's splendid young designated hitter and leftfielder has hit 18 home runs through the end of May and is ahead of both Babe Ruth's and Roger Maris' early-season pace. It was enough to earn him the American League's Player of the Month award. To add consistency to insult, Rice's .343 batting average would satisfy Pete Rose...
Campus sit-ins were nothing new in 1971 when demonstrators seized part of the Stanford University Hospital, but student editors of the Stanford Daily (circ. 15,000) covered the event anyway. A wise move. Violence broke out, and nine policemen were injured. Three days later the police, armed with a search warrant, barged into the Daily's offices looking for photographs that might help identify their assailants. They found nothing of use, and the Daily filed suit. Eventually, two lower courts found that the paper's constitutional rights had been violated, and the police were ordered...
...schools used only half of it. "The need just wasn't there," Lawrence E. Maguire, director of student employment, says, explaining that graduate students often find good jobs that pay more than work-study jobs, and their academic commitments do not always leave them time to work, anyway. Gibson adds that students in some schools have more need for work-study jobs than others. The Business, Medical and Dental Schools use the least work-study money--partly because their students have high expected incomes and can obtain loans more easily than students in other graduate schools...
...Technologies, the parent of Pratt & Whitney. Only last month executives of both companies blasted Eastern Air Lines' $778 million purchase of 19 European-made A300 Airbuses, charging that the deals had been "unfairly subsidized" by the German, French and Spanish governments. Boeing never had strong grounds for complaint anyway-it accounts for more than half of all commercial plane sales in the non-Communist world. To keep up with traffic growth and meet noise and pollution standards, the airlines are generally expected to buy up to 1,500 planes worth $80 billion between now and 1990, and that...
...scores. Here he is, older but unbowed, battling with the Times's infamous New York editors, one of whom once interrupted him on a presidential trip to demand a reconciliation between his story and the Associated Press version. Wicker shot back: "My story's right and anyway, I just left the A.P. It's down in the bar, drunk." He inks an indelible portrait of Lyndon Johnson, who liked to hang the Presidential Seal on a bale of hay at his Texas ranch, hold a brief press conference and ride off on his horse. The columnist also...
