...talking about opportunity. In 1966, determined to break up the black alliance of Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson, the Cincinnati Reds traded Robinson to Baltimore. (It is axiomatic in this situation that teams always move the wrong man; in the next era, Houston would separate Joe Morgan and Jimmy Wynn by sending Morgan to Cincinnati.) Baltimore's General Manager Harry Dalton had an idea that, since the city was predominantly black, perhaps a black superstar would stimulate black attendance. Robinson had a perfect year in 1966, winning the American League Triple Crown and prodding the Orioles to a World Series...

...Giordano's Bakery, an 8-ft. by 10-ft. shop in a depopulated section of Newark, does not make the best Italian bread in the world. Possibly it is only the best in the New World.

A Rose card is now worth as much as $450. On the other hand, images of New York Mets Pitcher Dwight Gooden have fared poorly. Gooden's recent drug disability has sent his 1984 Fleer rookie card crashing in value from $120 to $70 in a matter of weeks...

...center of all the attention is a class of compounds known as sucrose polyester (SPE). Although that may sound like a new material for leisure suits, SPE looks and tastes like vegetable oil but passes through the body without entering the bloodstream. Research at the University of Cincinnati appears to show that it can reduce a person's existing cholesterol levels. It supposedly satisfies what market researchers call the "mouth-feel" requirement that eludes so many yucky-tasting diet-oriented products. P&G, which has tested olestra on more than 1,800 people in the past 15 years, contends that...
