...Royals have some youth in Kevin Seitzer (.322, 15 HR, 83 RBI) and Danny Tartabull. George Brett (.290, 22 HR) still has some pop in his bat. But Dan Quisemberry is not the ace reliever he once was. And the loss of Danny Jackson to the Reds hurt KC's starting staff. Best player: Tartabull...
Cinncinati (84-78, NL West, second): The starters, led by KC fireballer Danny Jackson (9-18) and Dennis Rasmussen (4-1), are potentially strong. The bullpen, led by John Franco (32 saves), is one of the best in the league. A possible Mario Soto comeback just might do it for the Reds. Last year, Soto finished the season at 3-2. Eric Davis and the rest of the Reds offense will score the runs. In 108 games, outfielder Kal Daniels hit 26 HR and batted .334. Best player: Davis...
...when combat no longer occurs on clear-cut front lines, supported by a rear echelon, these rules, established after World War II, have created some peculiar quandaries.

Though women are banned from Navy destroyers, they may support and supply vessels that steam in dangerous waters. Women piloted tankers in the 1986 air strike on Libya and flew cargo planes in the invasion of Grenada. Says...
...only the latest in a long list of accomplishments. Among the more remarkable of Alvin's 1,716 deep-sea missions: locating and helping to recover (from a depth of 2,850 ft.) an H- bomb that fell into the Mediterranean after a B-52 bomber and a KC-135 tanker collided over Spain in 1966; discovering peculiar new life-forms, including tube worms 10 ft. long, while probing hot-water vents in the ocean floor 8,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific...
Reagan's reply to all these concerns was to strike an attitude of poised calm, even when taking firm action. The President last week invoked his emergency powers to sell Saudi Arabia 400 shoulder-fired Stinger antiaircraft missiles and to provide a fourth aerial tanker, a KC-10, that can refuel Saudi fighters in flight. The moves were intended to help the Saudis protect shipping from Iranian air assault in the Persian Gulf. Kuwait promptly made an unofficial request for Stingers; the U.S. suggested it turn to European suppliers...
