...Japan to maintain security treaties with the U.S. Teng recently warned visiting President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines against Soviet expansion in Asia. The Vice Premier referred to the old Chinese proverb: "Guard against letting the tiger in through the back door while repelling the wolf through the front gate." Despite past Chinese propaganda denouncing the U.S. as a paper tiger, the reference in this case was clearly to a Russian tiger and an American wolf...

...mosquitoes outnumber the fans, the floodlights leave the centerfielder groping in the dark, and a park employee has to run out into rightfield every half-inning to update the Scoreboard. In Greenwood, Dave Fendrick, the young general manager of the Braves, has to collect tickets at the front gate, the dugouts are too small to shelter all the players, and in Spartanburg, Charlie ("Doc") Royals wears four hats as the Phillies' bus driver, clubhouse manager, laundry man and trainer...
