...engineer in Phoenix. He straightened into a vertical dart, arms pinned to his body, ankles crossed, head aimed at the ground in what chutists call a "no-lift" dive, and plummeted toward Williams at a speed of around 200 m.p.h. The effort was like "trying to catch a football that was flopping down the road at 40 m.p.h.," said Bill Rothe, Williams' fiance, who watched from the ground. At 3,500 ft., about ten seconds before impact, Robertson caught up with Williams, almost hitting her but slowing his own descent by assuming the open-body froglike position. He angled...

Soviet leaders have not suddenly discovered the magic of the marketplace. They are interested rather in bringing the country's flourishing underground economy under some control. Soviet economists estimate that 40% of all household services are performed illegally by moonlighters working nalevo, literally, on the left.

...Robin Yount remain from the glory year, 1982. Now the designated hitter, Cooper has yielded first base to ex-Dodger Greg Brock, no longer required to be Steve Garvey. Yount has lost the arm for shortstop but was center fielder enough to preserve the no-hitter with a diving catch for the final out. He was quick to say, "Paciorek's catch in the second inning meant just as much." Left Fielder Jim Paciorek, subbing for the young home-run champion Rob Deer, said not to forget the infield. And Nieves thanked the team. The season may only be dawning...
