...Reagan Administration, which has complained strongly about Mexico's apparently laggard efforts to catch the murderers, was quick with praise. The arrest came only five days after the capture in San Jose, Costa Rica, of another Mexican drug kingpin, Rafael Caro Quintero, 29, who had fled shortly after the murder of Camarena and his Mexican pilot Alfredo Zavala Avelar.

Rose, 44, now has fewer than 100 to go. Though he was hot, Cincinnati was downright wintry. The game was delayed twice because of snow. Since the season has been extended by two playoff games this year, the snow could be coming down...
