...Yankees have nothing to be ashamed of, though. Thurman Munson showed his MVP fiber and capped a brillant series with four hits last night. Ken Griffey, a .330 hitter during the National League season, was laminated by Yankee breaking balls and finished up with but one safety in 16 trips. Fred Stanley proved himself a major league shortstop in front of one hundred million critics...
Moynihan, 49, came out of a bro ken home and Irish poverty in Hell's Kitchen. Thanks to City College, Tufts and the London School of Economics, Moynihan propelled himself into an episodic academic career (Syracuse University, Harvard) that he constantly interrupts by sprints down the corridors of power. No subject-traffic safety, crime, black mores, welfare reform, the future of democracy-is beyond his ken or pen. Always a Democrat, he has fraternized with the party's reform and regular factions in New York just as he has served with equal panache each President-Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon...
...that rigidly apply the death sentence for specific offenses. Instead, it has approved only those statutes under which judges or juries get adequate information about each individual and his offense to use in making the life-or-death sentence decision. "The mood around here is pessimistic determination," says David Ken dall, who supervises the L.D.F. battle, "but we'll go on defending our indi gent clients as long as we can." The anti-death lawyers are already living with the fear and certainty that sooner or later they will fail to save someone...
Probably the biggest travesty is the Yankees' pitching staff. George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, isn't stupid. He went out and tried to reunite the championship pitching staff of the Oakland A's, and he's half done. Steinbrenner bought Catfish Hunter and Ken Holtzman by paying them exorbitant salaries. Next year he'll probably lure Vida Blue to New York (he already tried it this year) and then will have three of the four A's starters. Unfortunately for Steinbrenner, the fourth starter, Blue Moon Odom, hasn't been doing so well in the majors lately...
...outfield, the Reds have some young players, like George Foster, Cesar Geronimo and Ken Griffey, who, despite their great hit-and run-producing abilities, also play spectacular defense. The Yankees' troika of White, Rivers and Elliot Maddox aren't the greatest hitters and their defense leaves a lot to be desired as well...
