...brightness to a magnitude of around 1 to 0." (A lower number means a brighter star; Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, has a magnitude of -1.5.) That would have made it look nearly as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky. Instead, the supernova rose only to a magnitude of 4.5 -- equivalent to that of a medium-bright star -- but then stopped and hovered around that figure...
...province, the remote Amazon jungle region that was most severely affected, the picture changed. Last week it had become clear that the quakes, which were followed by hundreds of aftershocks, constituted one of the worst natural disasters ever in the tiny South American country. As estimates of the dead rose above 1,000, a shaken President Leon Febres Cordero, fresh from viewing the stricken areas by helicopter, proclaimed, "We are facing the biggest, most profound and complex problem in our history...

"If you got a good reliever one year," Charlie Dressen used to advise newer managers, "get a different one the next." Only Rose would understand that this applies to similes as well. Approaching 46, the Reds' player-manager had to leave himself off the winter roster in order to protect a younger man, like Pitcher Norm Charlton, whose finger Rose broke with the first fungo of the season...
