Last week SAM proved as myopic as ever. In the biggest daily barrage of the war, eleven SAMs were fired-and not one hit its mark. When SAMs tried to strong-arm Navy jets near Haiphong, the "airdales" roared in and struck the site, sending up spiraling smoke from a secondary explosion-probably a missile. Even when two SAMs were fired near Vinh at night, Air Force Phantoms could avoid them. "They looked like Roman candles," said one U.S. pilot, "lighting up the night sky."

Over one stretch of six games, I hit at least two home runs in every game, three in most." Signed by Boston for a modest $10,000 bonus when he graduated from high school, he spent last year playing for the Red Sox's Pittsfield, Mass., farm club in the Class AA Eastern League-where he hit .319, with 25 homers in 140 games. Batting in the big leagues, he allows, is easier in some...
...days of May, said that it would idle two plants for four days between now and June 30. Then G.M. reported that its April sales fell 24% from last year's record rate. With all that, the stock market dropped another 27 points, closing the week at an eleven-month low of 876.11. The loss in paper values since G.M.'s original cutback announcement has cost investors approximately $20 billion...
