Witteman and Sportswriter B.J. Phillips, who wrote the story, both belong to TIME'S softball team, which plays in Central Park and so far has been undefeated this year. Phillips is one of the nation's few top-notch woman sportswriters. A baseball devotee since she was little, she used to write fan letters to Willie Mays. "It's hard to explain why you love baseball without sounding like a professor or a 10-year-old kid," says Phillips. "A case can be made for the mental elegance of the game-its beauty, its symmetry, its exquisite...

SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION. Under recent court interpretations of the 1970 act, the EPA must not only "protect and enhance" the nation's air but take active steps to prevent "significant deterioration" where air is still relatively pure. Environmentalists see these steps as safeguards against further despoliation by belching factories and power plants.

The House version would leave enforcement to the jurisdiction of the states and allow up to 18 days a year of pollution in those areas. By contrast...
