...began 2,127 games, 29 different double-play partners and 13 1/4 years ago. If you pitch 59 consecutive shutout innings or hit in 56 straight games, you are on a streak. But if you play so long that 3,695 other major leaguers have gone on the disabled list since the last time you spent an entire game on the bench, so continuously that more than 50 million fans have seen nobody but you start the game at your position, you are not on a streak. You are on a river, a long, meandering river like, say, the Susquehanna...
...such thoughts so far. As he prepared to speak at a National Guard convention last Wednesday, some of his aides suggested that Dole revive his call to make English America's "official language," a long-standing Dole position that ranks about midway on the G.O.P. right-wing's wish list. No, the candidate told his advisers, that would be "inappropriate" for an audience concerned with military matters. In stead Dole reiterated his essentially centrist themes, as he did all across the South last week. Dole kept saying he wants to "rein in government and return power to the people...
Last year Wakabayashi moved yet again--this time to the Irvine Medical Center to establish the Wakabayashi Institute. Already he has a three-month waiting list for new patients. Although his surgery lacks a formal scientific evaluation, Wakabayashi believes he has proved his operation's merits.

...boasts an impressive building by architect I.M. Pei (the entire project cost $92 million), interactive exhibits (touch-screen computers that play requested songs and videos) and an array of music memorabilia, including the poetry Bruce Springsteen wrote in junior college (excerpt: "emerald waves crashed upon the shores...") and a list from the Rolling Stones detailing what they required backstage for their 1972 tour (among the items: vodka, backgammon set and "apple pie--lots"). As of last week, however, workers were still hustling to put the finishing touches on exhibits in the 150,000-sq.-ft. facility. Joked museum director Dennis...
Little Richard and Yoko Ono, though few on rock's current A-list, made it to the ribbon-cutting ceremony today in Cleveland for the $92 million Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a six-story glass and steel pyramid that may actually be worth the investment. "It's a very important museum," says music critic Christopher John Farley. "It is a lot more than seeing Bruce Springsteen's junior college poetry. It documents the history of an American art form. It's a great looking building that really captures the spirit of the music." The museum opens Saturday...
