...that Rose admires viciousness. "I know," he says, "people picture me running over Ray Fosse in the All-Star Game [of 1970]." Scoring the winning run, Rose spread the catcher like apple butter. Fosse's shoulder and career came unhinged. "I wish it hadn't happened," Rose says. "It ruined that kid." But he adds, "I'm glad we won the game." Regarding comparisons with Cobb, Rose joins in few of the arguments. "I don't steal bases like he did, and he didn't wear a tie on the road like I do." It will be fine with Rose...
...make up for lost time, the crew crammed even more work into their already difficult round-the-clock schedule. An X-ray telescope zoomed in on the distant stellar clusters of Virgo and Centaurus, recording the precise contours of their massive radiation fields. Toward the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum, another telescope, an infrared instrument, mapped the invisible heat of the Milky Way. A small satellite called the plasma diagnostics package was suspended from the ship's giant remote arm to measure "ripples," or the wake that the shuttle causes in the earth's ionosphere. At several points...

The group was led by Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, Corporate Editor Ray Cave and Chief of Correspondents Richard Duncan. In the past seven years, Deng, who was once sent into internal exile as a "capitalist-roader," has introduced broad and dramatic economic reforms that have decentralized decision-making and placed more reliance on free-market forces. In mid-September, he consolidated political backing...
...mess; glamorous Kolya has the nimble tread of melancholic star quality. Raymond agonizes about his family back home; Kolya never visits or mentions the family he must have left stranded. Raymond hates U.S. politics, but the disco beat pulsing from Kolya's tape deck calls him home. Good idea, Ray, since the cagey beast from the KGB (Jerzy Skolimowski) hates blacks...
