Even so, prospects for the Dodgers were hardly hopeless. Though the Los Angeles lineup lacks big-name bats like Cincinnati's Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench, the Dodgers have their share of potent hitters. First Baseman Steve Garvey, who was the Dodgers' bat boy 15 years ago, sports a healthy batting average of .324, followed not far behind by young Leftfielder Bill Buckner. Jim Wynn, the "Toy Cannon," adds the power of 30 home runs and 99 RBis. And there is always iron-arm Mike Marshall in the bullpen...
...attract a lot of townies, but maybe some of those people are freshmen who have come over from the nearby Yard--it's hard to tell the difference these days. It is routine to be carded, at least on weekends. This place provides live entertainment (loud), beer and more potent alcohol, and little else. There is no atmosphere, only noise. Somehow or another, the Oxford Ale House seems out of place in Cambridge, at least as out of place as Yale would be, and hopefully more...
After it is applied, aldrin gradually breaks down into dieldrin, a durable chlorinated hydrocarbon; the pesticide is long-lasting and requires only one application per year. That makes it more popular with farmers than shorter-lived, less potent pesticides that must be used more often and only at specific stages of the corn plants' growth. Dieldrin's impressive durability, says the EPA, is the very quality that makes it an increasingly serious threat...
Caramanlis, however, does not have a completely free hand. The Greek military still looms as a potent ar biter of the government's ac tions, particularly in the sensitive negotiations over Cyprus. Many military men remain strongly committed to eventual enosis, and the officers may be tempted to oust the new Premier if he concedes too much to Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots...
...potent but short-lived rock phenomenon was the supergroup-an amalgam formed by the talented malcontents of other bands. While they lasted, groups like Cream and Blind Faith-both starring Guitarist Eric Clapton and Drummer Ginger Baker-played enormous arenas and made megabucks, and sometimes megamusic. Their performances were fueled by dueling egos. Musical infighting built up the excitement they generated, but it also made breakups inevitable. Now, with half a decade gone, perhaps the mightiest U.S. supergroup of all is back together: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, whose pungent lyrics and soft-edged counterpoint to acid rock made them...
