...prohibitive favorites even then, got psyched out by the crippled Dodgers. Like a rock 'n' roller when Elvis died, every A's fan remembers where he was at that fateful moment in Game 1 -- bottom of the ninth, Oakland leading 4-3 on a Canseco grand slam -- when Kirk Gibson hobbled . to the plate and gritted a game-winning home run off Eckersley. Sobbing was heard among the faithful; choking was displayed by the players. It was Gibson's only appearance of the pageant, but the A's never shook off his back- from-the-dead blow. They faded...
...KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS: PICKIN' ON NASHVILLE (Mercury/PolyGram). Quirky, impolite country music by a new band that respects tradition but takes its own route back to the roots. Classics by the likes of Bill Monroe and Don Gibson are burnished with a hard-driving, honky-tonk brio that suits the Headhunters' original material just fine...
Talk about negative reviews. First Air America, the Mel Gibson-goes-gonzo- in- Indochina summer spectacular, was generally panned by the critics.

...Chan reserve -- the first of its kind in Central America -- includes beds of sea grass, which prevent silt from settling on the reef, and seven mangrove cays that serve as nursery areas for many of the species living there. "Reef, mangroves, sea grass -- they're all linked," Gibson notes. "If you touch one part, it affects the whole." The area appears to be sufficiently guarded against further damage: it is well patrolled, all regulations are being enforced, and fishing and collecting in the area have ceased. "We've seen an incredible rise in the diversity of fish life," Gibson says...
