...that morning, an hour chosen to protect the anonymity of the deeply distressed families, the babies were switched for the fourth and final time. Now a government committee will try to answer a troubling question: Why haven't Israeli hospitals taken to foot-printing babies at birth, a virtually foolproof method of identification used in almost all advanced nations...
...Angeles Centerfielder Bill North to give the Dodgers the league lead for the first time since May. Then the Giants fought back, winning a one-run game with a home run from Second Baseman Bill Madlock, a Dodger nemesis (he has a .342 career average against Los Angeles). The fourth game went into extra innings. The Giants stayed alive on a hit by aging Superstar Willie McCovey, indestructible and still explosive at 40, and carried to victory and a renewed fingernail grip on first place by a brand new hero, 22-year-old Born-Again Christian Rightfielder Jack Clark.

...automotive subsidiaries in Britain, France and Spain to France's Peugeot-Citroën for $430 million in cash and Peugeot stock.

The declaration passed overwhelmingly, 1,997 to 224, affirming to the world that the Catholic Church respected the rights of conscience of other believers...
...hours in a trailer called the Sag Wagon. Not so fortunate was Pat Doyle, 20, a truck driver from Dubuque, who vowed at the start to "drink a beer at every saloon on this ride." Alas, for the pride of the Doyles, Pat crashed his bike on the fourth day in Iowa Falls, all those saloons and 250 miles from the last watering hole in Clinton. For those who made it from river to river, surviving the buttered corn, sweet rolls, doughnuts, lemonade, watermelon, apples, popcorn, homemade cookies, eggs-any-style, pork-burgers, wienies and pancakes, it was a nice...
