...striking out incessantly got him benched for five weeks last season, but Davis reappeared for the last 93 games to shred the league (.381 in July) with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and 80 stolen bases. He started not only to invite but to heed Batting Coach Billy DeMars' counsel and also began to grow famous. "He got rid of that 'potential' tag," says Rose, who like Davis lightly noted a record nine straight strikeouts in Houston a few weeks ago because the team still won. Among all his gaudy statistics, runs scored has become Davis' favorite category. "Runs...
...nearby and helping out. About a few matters Taylor can be irritatingly coy, and one of them is sex. As a youth he could not decide whether he favored males or females ("Let's just say that I preferred to be on top"), so he sought out Graham for counsel. She told him to stop worrying about it. A few years later, after glimpsing a beautiful young man while on tour in Sri Lanka, he turned to homosexuality.

Former National Security Adviser John Poindexter, who was kept informed by North about almost everything he did, poses the most direct peril to the President. Cool and at least outwardly serene at the center of the scandal, the pipe-puffing admiral has told friends he intends to lay his story out candidly and will not be shaken by others. He has privately said he feels that he kept...
...Washington debates, Huntington drew some vehement support, particularly among the NAS's 177 social scientists, who have been admitted since membership criteria were widened 16 years ago to provide a broader social context for counsel to the Government. One social-scientist member said in a speech, "His work is quite impressive, and he is a very fine scholar and a good scientist." After the vote, Huntington defended equations in his writings as "simply a way of summing up a complicated argument." He added, "Good Lord, any good social scientist knows the things he studies are constantly changing, full of exceptions...
