...with the O's 11 games up on the Yanks--the Red Sox seven--and a black tie dinner at The Ritz in October at stake with my roommates, I paid my quarter and boarded the Red Line bound for Kenmore Sq. As I switched to the trolley at Park St., more and more passengers sporting the Fenway look pushed, shoved and crowded around me. Blue and red helmets, sweatshirts, Red Sox painter's caps, and almost any other type of paraphernalia imaginable cluttered my vision--all emblazoned with that hated "B."

The cartel's complex system of base quotes and surcharges works out to an average price of between...
During his first 2½-hour talk with Park, Carter broached the delicate topic of human rights, an area in which South Korea has been severely criticized. At a state dinner hosted by the South Korean President, Carter praised the country's economic progress but added that "this achievement can be matched by similar progress through the realization of basic human aspirations in political and human rights." Under a series of draconian "emergency decrees" enacted in the early 1970s in the name of national security, the Korean government has sweeping powers of arrest, detention, search and seizure.
