...victory over the San Diego Padres. "You missed a good ball game tonight," Rose told President Reagan over the phone. For some reason, Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and National League President Chub Feeney missed it too. Not only did Rose score both runs and make a defensive dive for the final out, but unbelievably in the seventh inning, he duplicated his inaugural 1963 triple off Pittsburgh's Bob Friend, an identical shot into the left-field corner. Could Rose be starting over? "In total bases, I'm right on Babe Ruth's heels now," he said, meaning 116 behind...
Secretary of the Treasury James Baker carries with him a few quotes collected over the years from some of the experts. One is from 1982 by New York Financier Felix Rohatyn: "Huge deficits will push interest rates higher until the economy really goes into a nose-dive." Interest rates did not go up, and the economy has not gone down.

You should proceed immediately up the stairs, past the off-duty cops and the bouncers and dive into one of the Kong's famous Scorpion bowls.

But like Steve's ice cream, you have to try it at least once in your lifetime...
...most subtle experiment in the latest album is with popular music itself. As Spinal Tap showed, mimicking bad rock is the best way to criticize it. Likewise, the songs Little Creatures dip into the sounds and dull themes of pop music, but carefully refrain from making the complete dive. Instead they go just far enough to poke fun at the music during the journey. The chance they take, nonetheless, is a big one, considering they are dealing with a genre they usually take no interest in. This sort of dialectic-bashing implies an experiment that is not quite apparent during...
