Undeniably, Bok made a mess of things when he threw out that rather bizarre proposal for cutting the fat from the federal education budget. If he seriously was looking, as he insists in the report, to channel national dollars to those most likely to finish their college educations (a still-controversial but at least reasonable idea).

Along the way, he signed a mess of unlikely free agents (Andy Messersmith, $1.75 million; Al Hrabosky, $5.9 million; Claudell Washington, $3.5 million). Last season's attendance was 535,418. To be sure, in Turner's time, the Braves have never finished any better than fourth in the National League's West Division...
