...Phils before I'll even glance at a Sox score. At Fenway one eye is always fixed on the National League scoreboard. The attachment is probably a part of growing up.

...President who had "lied" to the American people, the distortion of his confused and confusing remarks on tax policy?all these and more have hurt him.

He completed 59% of his passes, breaking the Colts' record held by Johnny Unitas. Jones, 25, has but one eccentricity: growing a beard during the season-not to shave it off for the cameras a la Namath, but to camouflage his face for duck hunting...
