...batters' equivalent of 300 victories is 3,000 hits, Carew's entry that same afternoon making a total of 16 names on this roster of saints. Since Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates died in a plane crash almost 13 years ago at 38, the approximate measure of a great hitter has become precise. Clemente had 3,000 hits exactly.

That other hardy band of TV survivalists, the Carringtons of Dynasty, emerged from last spring's terrorist machine-gun attack with hardly a scratch among them, and are now cloning a new series, Dynasty II: The Colbys. Over at Falcon Crest, Apollonia, the sexy rock singer and protégé of Prince, has joined...
