...sales, sometimes grudgingly winked at them. In the latest round, it did much more than wink: some of the arms and parts were bought by private Israeli businessmen and then forwarded to Iran, which wound up paying the bill. The delivery of such items had been blocked by the Carter Administration, however, after the Khomeini-led revolution toppled the Shah and acquiesced in the seizure of the U.S. embassy by Iranian militants in 1979. The Reagan Administration, in line with its outspoken neutrality in the gulf war, has a long-standing and strongly advocated policy against arms sales to Iran...

Blighted Red Sox fans are not yet ready to hear that the longing may be better than the winning; the shiny faces of Jesse Orosco, Gary Carter and Knight are too vivid. But losing can be compelling too, when Boston is in form. Late after the final game, a bottle flew out of the night. Players being expendable by then, it naturally caught Traveling Secretary Jack Rogers on the bean. He led them home in an ambulance...
