Bill Lee--that old gonfalon of Red Sox past--once said that Zimmer had to pass his driver's test before he could manage a professional baseball team. But gerbils just don't drive--they sniff and sneak and scurry their way out of the maze. And if the O's are demolished in a plane crash, (or if Earl Weaver sniff too much glue), then Don Zimmer's beady eyes might finally sit still at the end of the season. Besides, Zimmer is the right man for the job. In the American League East, a rodent's instincts...
...President. Their mission: cut red tape. The board would be empowered by Congress to select projects-the building of pipelines and refineries, the opening of coal mines-that it deemed essential to expand domestic fuel output.

For in this eyesore of an American city, there is only one home beyond the bright cars and bars and stars and stores and doors and store 24s--the beach. Daytona's only redeeming feature. Perhaps the only reddeming factor for any American city. The only place in America's officious urban character where the lonely can find the lonely, the troubled can listen to peace, and the hot and frenzied can relax...
