...World Series, the Belmont Little Leaguers made it all the way to the finals before losing to Taiwan. But Gooden could be so critical of his teammates' mistakes that a visitor to the practice field might have taken him for the only competent player. One day nobody remembered to bring a ball. The team was awkwardly waiting when Gooden suddenly said, "I'm sorry for the way I act sometimes." After that he seemed not to notice any errors but his own. The scouts' word for this tolerance, consideration and grace is poise...
...such guarantees could be offered to fellow Europeans. The French were particularly concerned, since their importers not only sell Italian wine in supermarkets but also bring in bulk brands from Italy to fortify local products. At the ports of Sete and Marseilles, officials sequestered tankers carrying some 4.4 million gal. of southern Italian wine and dumped it after discovering contamination.

But one- year certificates of deposit, which earned a handsome 15% or more in 1981, now bring savers only 8% or so. Result: many consumers, suffering from single- digit shock, have started moving their IRA accounts to Wall Street in search of better yields.
