...WILLIAM FULBRIGHT, former Senator: Anybody who takes issue with the government of Israel is taking his life in his own hands. The one man who has done this and written very well is George Ball. He has advocated an equitable or balanced policy toward Israel and her neighbors that I think is very constructive...
...appears that Don Zimmer has given up on the hard sell. He's played his talent rather admirably, keeping sore elbows and ankles in check. No pulled groins on this ball club, no pulled ripcords. While Zimmer insists that he is doing nothing differently this year, everyone knows it's just ego. Behind Zimmer's ego is not an ounce of superego, just a whole bunce of id. Id like the Red Sox dugout exploding onto the field after they win the 1979 American League East title; id like the Boston Globe printing a photograph of his dough-and-steel...
...less egregious form: short, bad complexion, slightly overweight, greasy hair, glasses, copy of Stranger in a Strange Landdiscreetly folded over an otherwise prominent hard-on.

...outpointed seven boys in the finals of the nine-to-twelve age group. One of two girls on her Little League team, Crystal has been a stalwart-this year she's hitting .528 and getting on base 70% of the time-since her coach discovered her throwing a ball against a building. Besides baseball, her interests include basketball, music, bike riding and the Pittsburgh Pirates (her idol: Outfielder Dave Parker, who strong-armed the National League's 7-6 win in Seattle). Crystal, a B student, will enter the sixth grade this fall. But right...
