Blakely Smith, an ad-sales rep from??Philadelphia, was trying to hold down the cost of her upcoming wedding, so she did what a lot of cost-conscious brides are doing these days. She shopped for her wedding dress on eBay. And she found it: a beautiful Monique Lhuillier design that was lacy and sophisticated and everything she had hoped for. Smith started bidding. And hoping. And bidding again. At the end of the auction, unfortunately, her bid of $2,400 wasn't high enough to meet the seller's hidden reserve price. That meant the dress didn't sell...

The only danger to Thompson that day was from the free-firing U.S. infantrymen. Thompson promptly complained to his superiors that there had been unnecessary killing at My Lai?but a cursory Army investigation turned...
Pitching. When Connie Mack started the series with the Cubs last year he had three pitchers to choose from???the brilliant left-handers Grove and Walberg, and a right-hander as good as either of them. George Earnshaw. Craftily, Mack did not start with either Grove or Walberg, but began the series with his old spitballer Howard Ehmke. This year Walberg has not come up to his past standard and old Ehmke has been scouting instead of pitching. Manager Mack, sorely needing a good relief pitcher such as the Cards have in Rhem, Bell, Lindsey, Grabowski, is expected...
