BOSTON--The Boston Red Sox, hunting for left handed hitting to complement held handed sluggers Jim Rice. Tony Armas and Dwight Evans, courted veteran Bruce Bochte yesterday after picking three lefty swingers in major league baseball's free agent reentry draft...

To more and more students of the era, however, Dwight David Eisenhower was a canny leader who brilliantly outmaneuvered subordinates and statesmen. Author and Biographer Stephen E. Ambrose can claim a seat in each camp...
