The Reds have hung tight all season despite a below par year from one of baseball's alltime great pitchers, Tom Seaver, and injuries to former M.V.P.s, such as Catcher Johnny Bench and Second Baseman Joe Morgan. Last year's M.V.P., George Foster, is leading the league in RBls.

Khachaturian apologized publicly and regained Soviet favor firmly enough to visit Washington, D.C., in 1968, conducting his own work and using as his encore the brassy Sabre Dance (from...
Paxton had back-to-back birdies on the par-three 15th and par-five 16th. His two-iron sucked up to the flagstick on 15, and he got home in two on the 16th, smashing a three-wood onto the elevated, redan green which typifies this course. Paxton then slipped to double-bogeys on the next two holes, spraying teeshots into the woods on 17 and the 583-yard 18th...
