Mickey Maspons and Scott Vierra smashed back-to-back homers in the third. After Elliott Rivera's round-tripper made it 8-1 in the top of the fifth. Falcon pitcher Roch Rhinchart took out his frustration by beaning Tony Decease on the very next pitch. Maspons stepped to the plate and boomed his second straight homer, a 400 ft., monster, to dead center...
...lined up $1.2 billion in credit and began quietly acquiring stock last October. From then until mid-February, he paid nearly $600 million for 13.8 million shares, pushing the stock's price from about $36 to $48. Returning to Amarillo on Feb. 14 aboard his company's ten-passenger Falcon 50 jet after a business trip to New York City, Pickens phoned Mesa's headquarters to find out whether it had sent word of the purchases to the New York Stock Exchange, as planned.

His treason is pinned on mid-America, not so much for the evil of its ways as for the banality of its style. Affluence is flatulence; good intentions are to laugh at; filial piety is worth nothing...
...Chris Boyce escaped from Lompoc federal prison and lived on the lam, as a bank robber and fisherman, for 19 months before his capture. To many of those he met then, he is still a friend, and maybe a hero. That story could make for a sequel--The Falcon Strikes Back, perhaps?--superior to the original movie. The early careers of Chris and Daulton prove that truth is stranger, and more thrilling, than docu-drama...
