...filling the room with smoke at the very moment the couple broke the glasses. This week seven couples will tie the knot in front of some 15,000 spectators in the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. The group ceremony takes place on the pitcher's mound before a Braves game...
Brock is not exaggerating. Over the years, he has been one of the best money players in the game. In the 1968 World Series, though his team lost to the Detroit Tigers, Brock hit an awesome .464. His lifetime series average is .391, highest for anyone who has played 20 or more games. A year ago, Brock had problems with his swing, hit only .221 and rode the bench.

To the Europeans, it looked once again as if the world's most powerful nation-and premier petro-pig-was trying to push its energy agonies off on its allies. At issue was the Carter Administration's quiet announcement three weeks ago of a "temporary" U.S. subsidy of $5 per bbl. on imported diesel oil for trucks...
