...generous federal and state subsidies for fringe film makers. But even these have started to pay off. Filmverlag der Autoren, the production company that has supported many pioneers of the new German cinema for more than a decade, finally went into the black last year. Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders have earned reputations as world-class film makers. These and other directors who restored German film to artistic prominence after 40 years in the Nazi and postwar wilderness are winning dates in U.S. art theaters traditionally receptive only to French movies.

Kansas City, the loser in last fall's World Series, is in last place in the American League West, and an aging Los Angeles Dodger team that had the experts shaking their heads...
...Herzog and Kennedy continued their negotiations for nearly half an hour, pausing to consult with a player's agent (a recent and much resented addition to such discussions) and to check minor-league scouting reports. Abruptly, the men exchanged handshakes, then departed to announce formally that Cubs Relief Ace Bruce Sutler had been sent to the Cardinals in exchange for Third Baseman Ken Reitz, second-year Outfielder Leon Durham and a St. Louis minor leaguer to be named later. That seemingly casual negotiation was symbolic of baseball's return to its old ways after five years of free...
