...astounding performance of the 1967 Red Sox, is as hackneyed as it is true. The old Sox were cursed by a losing mentality. So what if you finish eighth or ninth, whether you win this game or lose it? It's not going to help anybody's paycheck. The players had one overriding interest: themselves.

...Viet Nam veteran stationed at the Army's main pilot-training center, Fort Rucker, I am one of those Army chopper jockeys feeling the "pilot pinch" [April 14] -in the paycheck.
