...from his home for questioning but released him seven hours later. That's the second time he's been detained since U.S. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown arrived Saturday for a Beijing visit. Brown had declared yesterday's offer a vindication of the U.S. decision to stop threatening to link China's most-favored-nation trade status and human rights. Today, State Department officials said they were "distressed...
...suspended informal talks on the sensitive subject this February after U.S. officials met with dissidents during a visit to the country. Talks are scheduled to resume in September. Observers say the unexpected development is intended as a reward for the Clinton administration, which in May decided not to link approval of China's Most Favored Nation trading status with its human rights record...

So much melodrama and vaudeville echo in the monikers of old-time players: Lu Blue, Pebbly Jack Glasscock, Orval Overall, Baby Doll Jacobson, Heinie Manush. Sometimes a player finds a namemate from another era and forges a powerful link in baseball's memory chain. So this year let us induct Harvard Eddie Grant and Parisian Bob Caruthers, Goose Goslin and Goose Gossage, Rollie Fingers and Mordecai Peter Centennial (Three Finger) Brown. Not to forget those matching tabloid headlines, Urban Shocker and Country Slaughter...
