Treading Tenderly. Although Tanaka's fortunes are at their lowest ever, no one is willing to count him out. Last week he moved swiftly to stem a total collapse of his Cabinet by shifting one of his loyal followers, Masayoshi Ohira, 64, from Foreign Minister to Fukuda's post at Finance. He named two other well-known and respected L.D.P. veterans to the other vacant posts: Toshio Kimura, 65, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Kichizo Hosoda, 62, to Hori's old job.

Last week, not quite halfway through the season, St. Louis Cardinal Leftfielder Lou Brock stole his 50th base, putting him 28 games ahead of Wills' 1962 pace. As if that were not enough, Brock has collected those steals in only 56 attempts, for an astonishing success rate...
