...cloudless day in Winter Haven, Fla., where everyone has been taken with No. 21, both the age and the uniform of Boston Red Sox Pitcher Roger Clemens, a righthander who won the deciding game of the past college world series for the University of Texas and spent last summer brightening two minor leagues. Against Detroit a few days ago, Clemens struck out three men on ten pitches, causing Tiger Manager Sparky Anderson to proclaim, "This is the best, most poised young pitcher I've seen since Tom Seaver: great rising fastball, pretty good curve...
...Lear," proclaimed Shaw, with his usual modesty, of this melancholy farce. Not for him the inevitable comparisons with Chekhov and Congreve. No, he would recast Lear as Captain Shotover, a wily old man of the sea, sensitive to every political current, each distant drumroll of thunder on the cloudless eve of the Great War. Surrounding the Captain are his two bewitching daughters, with their foolish suitors, and one young woman, Ellie Dunn, who is wise and innocent enough to read the Captain's prophetic mind.

Down on the main deck, nearly all of the 24 seats in the business-class section, where tickets cost $2,380, were occupied. Toward the rear, where passengers could...
Columbia's own flight last Thursday morning began just as flawlessly, lifting off about half a second early. Carrying a four-man crew, double the number on previous missions, the spacecraft remained visible for more than 3 min. as it rose on its pillars of fire into a cloudless sky over Cape Canaveral, undeterred by 90-m.p.h. winds. On the last mission, in July, Columbia's big strap-on solid-fuel booster rockets sank into the sea. This time, after separating from their mother ship, they drifted gently to earth under their large parachutes and stayed afloat...
