...home run right off the bat: the perfect note played on a party horn. Then the bottom of the inning kept on that way, fast and farfetched. Mitch Webster singled and Ryne Sandberg was up. Out of the rightfield stands popped Morganna, the floppy exhibitionist with the unmissable kisser, racing for the batter's box on mincing old-ballplayer feet that brought back the newsreels. She couldn't make it past the security guards to Sandberg, but she got to him anyway. His giggling homer gave Chicago a 2-1 lead...

Politicians will go to remarkable lengths to get the attention of voters, but Arizona's Democratic Governor Bruce Babbitt outdid even the most tireless baby kisser and hand shaker last week. From Sunday to Saturday, he bicycled across 397 miles of Iowa, pausing only for an emergency trip to Phoenix to attend the funeral of a legislative ally.
