...Bret Saberhagen, who has been around for 17 seasons, a couple of them as the finest pitcher of his day, says flatly, "That little man's the best I've ever seen. In my era, you've got Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux--but as far as I'm concerned, Pedro's the best...
...jazzy look of this week's issue is the work of Cynthia Hoffman and MaryAnne Golon, and Barbara Maddux served as head reporter for the entire project. "I'm a little wistful about returning to the present," Maddux says. "I'm going to miss the houses that clean themselves, the scent-producing TVs, not to mention the genetic tinkering that will make me live forever." No need for her to worry. The World's Fair seems just like yesterday, so 2025 should be here in no time...
Jeff is probably best known for co-writing the book that spawned the movie Apollo 13, so he was a natural to field the question about when we will live on Mars.

Three of our staff members--Christine Gorman, Michael Lemonick and Jeffrey Kluger--tackle...
...their showdown with the Braves. At their best, the Yankees' somewhat aged starters--the thirtysomethings David Cone and Roger Clemens, the 27-year-old Andy Pettitte and the your-guess-is-as-good-as-his Orlando ("El Duque") Hernandez--almost match up with Atlanta's foursome of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Kevin Millwood and Tom Glavine. The rest of the Yankee team is more balanced and more powerful than the Braves. And while Atlanta does have a snorting, 225-lb. alpha male lefthander, John Rocker, in the bullpen, the Yankees can turn to the impeccable Mariano Rivera, whose career post...
