...some type of federal jobs program. In the lame-duck congressional session starting Nov. 29, the Democrats plan to introduce a bill to create some 600,000 jobs by rebuilding the nation's decaying highways, bridges, sewers and mass-transit systems. Sponsored by Wisconsin Democratic Congressman Henry Reuss, chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, it would be financed by scaling back Reagan's planned increases in defense spending and curtailing portions of his 1983 tax cuts. At his press conference last week, the President seemed receptive to a similar program that had been proposed a year...
...line liberal Democrats urge public-works programs to create jobs. Says Henry Reuss, chairman of the Joint Economic Committee: "Our streets, schools, water systems, ports, railroads are falling apart. That's what F.D.R. was up against 50 years ago.

The Dodger catcher, Steve Yeager, hit the winning home run in the seventh inning, right after Pedro Guerrero had homered to tie. Meanwhile, Yankee Catcher Rick Cerone looked overeager to his boss. "Cerone took us out of two innings first-ball hitting," fumed George, "and everyone knows Guidry's ERA in the last three innings this season is over 10." Still, with Guidry steaming along on a two-hitter, would Steinbrenner...
...only run off Reuss, who was 10-4 during the regular season with a 2.29 ERA, came in the second. Reggie Jackson doubled on the first pitch of the inning, and made it to third when second-baseman Dave Lopes bobbled a Bob Watson grounder. He scored moments later, when Lou Piniella singled into left field...
