...basic premises of James and his fellow sabermetricians (from the acronym for the Society for American Baseball Research) is that one-run strategies (including sacrifice bunts and stolen bases) are usually pointless. A corollary of this premise is that major league managers, with the exception of Earl Weaver and a few others, do not know what they are doing, a fact that makes anti-James feeling somewhat understandable. Baseball research is in its infancy, and much of it is slapdash. But the numbers suggest that the sabermetricians are on the right track and that baseball faces the galling prospect...
...tactical triumph for the Government, Judge Earl Carroll barred all testimony on the religious and humanitarian motives behind the defendants' actions. Sanctuary lawyers nonetheless managed to slip several such references into testimony, and they plan to cite Carroll's ruling when they appeal the verdict. Prosecutor Reno, grandson of a Methodist preacher, faced some obstacles.

...sanctuary of the suburbs. Nonetheless, the surges of prismatic energy in the clothes they make and wear have little relation to the settled design ideas of Seventh Avenue. Some garments, like an outfit by Eva Goodman that resembles a series of sewn-together Hula Hoops sprayed with an Earl Scheib paint job, press hard on the outer edge, looking for the place where far-out goes...
