...erratic but had remarkable tools: a live bat, a great arm, terrific range. Cedeno, now 24, has matured, and it shows. Through Sunday he was hitting .329 with five homers. . . . One of the best free-agent signings of the off-season was White Sox DH Julio Franco, who has been hitting cleanup. He had 24 RBIs through Sunday and had made it tough for pitchers to work around No. 3 hitter Frank Thomas. . . .

In fact, the only thing that was open was a 24-hour peep show which only losers go to. And, losers that we are, we went in and spent some time there until we were sleepy. Because we didn't have enough...
...blast, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and Defense Minister Francois Leotard were already calling for an / ultimatum, and Washington swiftly agreed. Transatlantic telephone conferences between Presidents Clinton and Francois Mitterrand helped iron out some minor differences. By the time NATO ministers met in Brussels Wednesday, there was a joint Franco-American proposal on the table, possibly the first in the 30-odd years since Charles de Gaulle began fulminating against "les Anglo-Saxons...
