...Japanese. Has the world forgotten the millions of Chinese who were killed and tortured by the Japanese during their pre-World War II invasion of China? The crimes committed by the Japanese, especially after the fall of Nanking in 1937, will never be forgiven by the Chinese. Leon Li Chicago...
...pitcher, "experience after a while becomes another word for compensating, listening to your body, squeezing the maximum out of what's left. When I started, my age now would have boggled my mind. But these days I think anything's possible." Niekro lacks six victories for 300. The wise Chicago White Sox pitcher Tom Seaver, 40, got there last week.

"It's especially great coming today," said Gooden. "This is something I'll always remember." Seaver was about through beating the Yankees...
...Germany's first Davis Cup victory over the U.S. (the best American, John McEnroe, avoided Hamburg). But of all the sunny events piled up against the bleakness of arbitration clauses and pension proposals, the singular one was actually contested in a rainstorm at the Butler National Golf Club near Chicago, ultimately for no money at all. Scott Verplank, 21, a student at Oklahoma State, became the first amateur in 31 years, since Gene Littler, to win a P.G.A. Tour event...
