Like his earlier police counterpart in London's East End in 1888, Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield, 57, of Britain's West Yorkshire police is baffled and desperately seeking help. Last week, five years after the first gruesome killing, and despite the biggest man hunt in the country's history, Britain's modern-day reincarnation of Jack the Ripper struck again-for the 13th time and the first time in over 14 months.

Then I put it into the computer...
...Series had actually been won two days earlier in Kansas City, when the Phillies staged a ninth-inning rally to win the fifth game, 4-3. Philadelphia Third Baseman Mike Schmidt, who was later chosen the Series Most Valuable Player, smashed a line drive past George Brett, his Royals counterpart. Brett dove for the ball, but it glanced off his glove and the comeback had begun. With the help of Pinch-Hitter Del Unser, who slammed a double beyond the flailing reach of Royals' First Baseman Willie Aikens, the Phillies turned a one-run deficit into...
