...lithe, 180-lb. six-footer whose wrists are bigger (8 in. around) than Cassius Clay's, Aaron, 31, is a superb fielder, a dangerous base runner (19 stolen bases in 22 attempts) as well as a natural hitter who says, "I just grab a bat and look for the baseball. If it's near the plate, I swing at it."

Shriver bought it-all of it, even Murray's favorite flip phrase, "It's what...
...trade in odd lots of fewer than 100 shares. The odd-lotters had been big sellers almost every day since early May, but midway through last week they plunged in to buy almost twice as many shares as they sold. Many little people took advantage of the rally to grab their profits and get out of the market. On the final trading day, the Dow-Jones index worried off 3.89 points, closed the week...
