...word she had used to sum herself up on Stanford's application forms suddenly seemed an understatement: "Invincible." Within a year, that would change. Tasting some of Chin's medicine, on two throbbing Achilles tendons, Thomas lost the '87 nationals to Jill Trenary. Then in the '87 worlds at Cincinnati, Witt took Thomas in their rematch. Even as her title evaporated, Debi was entranced by the sight of Witt atwirl. "The girl," she said, "is blazing...
While hypermarkets have spread across Canada, which has 22 such stores, they have only now become a hot concept in the U.S. One reason is that America has so many competing discount stores and supermarkets that the Carrefour concept had trouble gaining acceptance. Analysts estimate that Bigg's, a Cincinnati hypermarket opened by Euromarche, a French firm, has lost at least $9 million since it was opened three years ago. But the large U.S. chains believe they can make the idea work by selling name-brand goods at paper-thin markups. K mart announced last September that it will form...
There are currently J.O.A.s in 22 cities throughout the country, including Cincinnati, San Francisco and Seattle, and no application has ever been denied. But Detroit presents an unusual case.

Communities downstream still face 760,000 gal. snaking their way along. By the end of next week the contamination should reach Cincinnati. But as it moves, the oil also becomes diluted; when it hits the Mississippi, perhaps by early March, it could be completely dispersed...
Numbers have always consoled him. In his final appearance in the batter's box, at twilight in Cincinnati, Rose struck out on three fastballs from Goose Gossage ("I had two strikes on me before I could get the doughnut off the bat"). He also struck out in his second-to-last try. But in the final three games that Rose started, he was 8 for 13, including his tenth 5-for-5 game, one of 13 records he set that day alone. "People wonder why I didn't pinch- hit myself last season for a ceremonial goodbye, but a manager...
