Arizona State, perennial participants in the CWS, had raced to the No. 1 ranking while amassing runs at a nine-plus per game clip. This was the best Sun Devil club since the National Champs of 1965, which boasted Rick Monday, Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson in its lineup. The 1977 version was a star-studded lineup even without the services of first baseman Mike Hudgens, the nation's number two RBI man with 72. Hudgens was unavailable as a result of a virtual coach's nightmare; he lost concentration while playing catch, and the ball shattered his nose...

By April, growth figures were in for the first quarter, and they seemed almost too good to believe. Discounted for inflation, G.N.P. rose at a 9.2% clip, one of the biggest quarterly spurts on record. Corporate profits soared; American Telephone & Telegraph eventually became the first U.S. corporation ever to earn more than $1 billion in a three-month period. Some economists began worrying about an inflationary overheating of business...
