...didn't think a restaurant would go when it first started," Daryl Bergh said and then dug into his eggs. "They started in that old one, the Havana Cafe. The building was falling apart. There was nothing left of it. You had to < shim up the table to keep your coffee cup from sliding...
...mayor, Orville Bergh, Daryl's father, came in and took no credit, saying, "They got all this organized while I was up in Milwaukee. Not bad for a little jerkwater town like this." Mayor for six years, he said he had been mayor for too long. "They complain about everything." He is paid $15 every time the town council meets. His Norwegian father was born in a sod shanty in 1883. His proudest bureaucratic achievement is a $6,000, 500-ft. concrete sidewalk that runs alongside Main Street, which is dirt. "That boy is mine too," said the mayor, pointing...
...Bales (Martin) runs the local volunteer firehouse, manned by a septet of gentle stooges. One of these is the hunky, clunky Chris (Rick Rossovich), who is attracted to a pretty astronomer named Roxanne (Daryl Hannah).

Last year, Strawberry had 27 regular-season round-trippers and finished third in homerun ratio (he had 5.68 homeruns for every 100 at bats). The Phillips's Mike Schmidt finished, but can you name the other slugger who topped Strawberry's mark...
...think I'm unyielding?" he asks Dean Garrett playfully, clasping a fist to the back of his center's neck. "No," Garrett answers sheepishly. "Am I unyielding?" he turns to Forward Daryl Thomas. "No, sir." It is the eve of the title game, and the press invites Alford into the discussion. Socks, shorts, one, two, three. "I've survived for four years," he backs off in a panic. "I've only got one more game." Indiana won it, 74-73, over the Syracuse Orangemen. Their perfectly competent but strangely insecure coach, Jim Boeheim, was slightly outflanked...
