That melodramatic phrase "baseball's last chance" refers to House and Senate pressures and the specter of hearings and legislation. Then "baseball will have lost control of its own problems," warned Ueberroth, a concern to everyone who holds the laws of the leagues dearer than the laws of the land. Purely by congressional whim does baseball remain set off from all the other professional sports as being somehow special. While the National Football League suffers, and generally loses, one antitrust suit after another, major league baseball enjoys an antitrust exemption...
There is confusion and concern over the proposals of the National Academy panel to reduce the recommended dietary allowances of iron, magnesium and zinc as well as vitamins A, B6 and C. The suggestions are part of a regular updating of the four-decade-old RDA tables, and must still get past months of elaborate academy review.

When asked about the President's tax-reform plan, not even a quarter of the sample professed to be "very" or "fairly" familiar with it, and of those only 41% voiced support for it, a drop of ten points from three months...
...contracted the ailment at birth from his mother, who died last year, and spent much of his life in hospitals. As his condition worsened, he asked to talk to President Reagan about the hungry children of Africa. Before Michael died, Reagan sent him a letter that said, "Your concern for others, even as you struggle with your health, is awe-inspiring...
