BRIGHTEST INSTANT REPLAY. Of all the solitary catches and hits, baskets and goals, the singular sensation of the sporting year was Boston College's 5-ft. 9 3/4-in. Doug Flutie confirming his legend with two seconds and half a field to go. That one pass in a 47-45 fireworks display at Miami is a trophy for Flutie as tangible as a Heisman...

...polls for the presidential runoff election between Christian Democrat José Napoleón Duarte and Roberto d'Aubuisson of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA). Almost unnoticed amid the clamor over Washington's covert-action policies, the two rivals have been waging a venomous replay of the first-round campaign that ended on March 25, when Duarte won 43.4% of the 1.5 million votes cast, and D'Aubuisson...
