...Bando (18 homers, 73 RBIs) and Rightfielder Reggie Jackson (20 homers, 52 RBls) provide the power. After a slow start, Centerfielder Rick Monday hit his stride two weeks ago when he clouted six homers in seven games. And when Monday or some other regular is not carrying the load, there always seems to be someone on the bench ready to take over, most notably Utility Men Tommy Davis (.322) and Gene Tenace (.314). Shut out only six times in 118 games this season, the A's are a well-rounded squad of solid, if not spectacular players who almost always...
...Fresh Load. The basic problem for management is that pension funds are already overloaded with large commitments. Businessmen point out that precedents set by public employers, such as New York City's agreement last spring giving firemen full pay after 40 years of service, are destined to become ammunition for labor during future bargaining. Over the past decade, employer contributions to pension funds have increased by 133.3%, but the funds' obligations have risen by 234.9%. The difference is being made up largely by the growth of fund investments. But some experts expect that if the trend continues, fund...
...Worden were going to make it safety back to earth. As the command module Endeavour came into sight high above the fluffy clouds over the Pacific, it became apparent that one of its three big orange-and-white chutes was fouled and thus not supporting its share of the load. Dropping into the calm seas 300 miles north of Hawaii several feet per second faster than planned, the moonship created a mighty splash. But despite the jolting landing the astronauts were safely home. Man's fourth and most productive moon-landing mission had ended successfully...
...Grass. Conveniences like these, however, are regarded by many inmates as a fair exchange for the shortage of real flora and fauna. "I like being able to run over and pick up a loaf of bread," says Mrs. Marcia Reese, waiting in the laundromat for a load of nappies to dry. "We enjoyed the quiet last week in the woods, but until my kids are out of diapers, this is more fun." For older kids, Campland is a mixed bag. Young Jeff Andreoli complains that he cannot play baseball or football: "There's no grass here." Karen Folts...
...consequence, scheduled lines began flying emptier and emptier planes. The average "load factor" on the North Atlantic fell from 53.2% in the first quarter of 1970 to 46.8% in the first quarter of 1971. The U.S. lines did less well than the average; Pan Am registered 38% and TWA 39.5%. True, the lines usually have slim tourist business during the early and late months of the year and raise their averages by packing them in during the summer rush. The biggest winners on the North Atlantic are two lines that cater to the ethnic trade: Israel...
