...tale of two catchers. Ted Simmons, whom Cardinal Manager Whitey Herzog had bravely traded to Milwaukee in 1980, homered in each of the first two games that the teams split in St. Louis. Darrell Porter, Herzog's former catcher at Kansas City whom he had signed to a fiveyear, $3.5 million contract as a free agent, had the decisive hit in Game 2, a home run in Game 6 and a single of some importance in Game 7. "Every time I got another hit," Porter noticed as he went along, "a few more folks quit booing." Eight...
...lines are well dug in on both sides. For the players, Garvey, the executive director of the N.F.L.P.A., argues that they are not proposing gridiron socialism as charged; they are trying to respond to a well-oiled socialist industry, unprecedented in American business. The N.F.L.'s new fiveyear, $2.1 billion television package, for example, is to be divided equally among its franchises.

Vast, empty Victorian brick factories, relics of the Lynn's long reign as "Shoe Capital" of the nation, were being recycled to serve a reawakening city as offices, stores, apartments and classrooms. But as he drove along Boston Street, Magrane...
...conduct an investigation," said an angry Sam Nunn of Georgia, ranking Democrat on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. It "wasted a historic opportunity" to root out corruption and mismanagement, said the subcommittee's 190-page report, released last week. The object of those disparaging words is a fiveyear, $5 million investigation by the Labor Department of an enormous pension fund controlled by officials of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters-a union whose ties to organized crime have inspired a number of federal probes over the years and whose power, and powerful friends, have usually helped protect...
