Still technically a player at 46, Rose begins to cut the full figure of a manager. Although he can activate himself anytime after May 15, it is conceivable that his jersey has already been retired with him in it. "Watching good young players grow up," he says, "is the fun thing about this job." The Reds' passel of young good ones includes Outfielders Kal Daniels and Tracy Jones, Infielders Barry Larkin and Kurt Stillwell and the impeccable relief pitcher John Franco. But every man on the team, including Ramrod Dave Parker, acknowledges that Davis is special. "Someday," says Parker...
...benched for five weeks last season, but Davis reappeared for the last 93 games to shred the league (.381 in July) with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and 80 stolen bases.

While the Government is not expected to take any immediate action, the pressure is sure to grow. Smokers, after all, make up a shrinking minority. Nonsmokers, like any other large majority, know the numbers -- and the clout -- are increasingly on their side...
...expand their business far beyond those traditional instruments into stock and bond investment as well as business loans, particularly in commercial real estate. At the same time, thrift deposits continued to receive federal guarantees. The result was that even though numerous thrifts were weak, the industry was encouraged to grow madly rather than face a shake...
