...when they do get to the series, the Astros will be competing against one of their own. Roger Clemens the 16-2 Red Sox pitching phenom, happens to be from Katy, Texas. I guess Clemens's fine Texas breeding is wearing off on the other Red Sox players...
Both Democrats and Republicans are jealously eyeing the votes of baby boomers, who do not, as a rule, share all the values or the goals of the religious right. "The key word for 1988 is tolerance," insists Republican Strategist Roger Stone. A fellow analyst of baby-boom voters, George Bush's strategist Lee Atwater says that whoever succeeds Reagan will have to emulate him: "Reagan won the baby-boom vote in 1984 because he projected tolerance.

...pivotal roles, recasting reduces the pain and power of the play. Michael Siberry, blond and robust, plays Nicholas as one of nature's optimists, buoyant with pride and hope.

The next night Clemens pitched ( superbly against the same Jays, giving up three hits and striking out eight, but lost...
...play, fittingly, is loosely-focused on life in the Boston Red Sox bullpen. The Sox have just added to their roster a 19-year-old pitching sensation named "The Kid," a Roger Clemens-type, who is scheduled to pitch in that day's game against the New York Yankees. In order to make room for him, they must cut a player from the bullpen, creating a great deal of anxiety among the six principals in the play--a catcher and five pitchers...
