Most important, the tickets are still cheap. Typically, a family of four can get into the game for about $10. The owners are able to hold down prices because of the subsidies from the major leagues and the other revenues, ranging from hot-dog and baseball-cap sales to advertising proceeds. The outfield fences in many of the parks are studded with billboards that local and national advertisers rent for the season for as much...
General Motors' popular Chevrolet Beretta sports coupe is as hot as a pistol. In fact, it even has the same name as a pistol.

...Kennedy who is easy to embrace. He had the grace to be nervous and the good sense to be brief . . . Jesse Jackson Jr., a natural speaker and compelling presence. When Jackson says, "I may not get there, but my children will," this is what he means . . . Sandra Perlmutter, the hot-pink sidekick to Madam Secretary Dorothy Bush, became the Vanna White of the Omni during Wednesday's roll call. She had trouble with some numbers, but no one seemed to notice...
