...hasn't changed that. No, the ball must have slipped; Rice didn't duck back quick enough. He even went to first and came around to score later than inning, and batted two more times before they took him out of the game. There wasn't even the rush of sudden tragedy, then--one read about it the next morning, a nightmare you squelch, mind at rest, until quietly you're plunged back into it again. It's only a game, sure, but when in Boston and throughout New England there are more than one million people who spend three...

Ford last week announced that it would rush a minicar entry of its own Into production in Europe in time to reach the U.S. market in 1977. Chrysler plans to enter the mini field by 1980 with a front-wheel drive model, probably based on the car made by its French subsidiary, Simca...
...Yorkers reflect on the reluctance of other Americans to rush to their rescue (see story page 8), they are sometimes tempted to imagine that they are victims of the outlander's hatred for the sophisticated metropolis. As Queens College Professor Andrew Hacker put it last week, "By all means let us have some serious belt tightening if that is Kankakee's condition for buying our bonds.
