With his supersize Fu Manchu mustache and seething scowl, former major league baseball pitcher Richard (Goose) Gossage scared the stirrups off hitters 30 years ago. Now 54, the Goose is firing 100 m.p.h. fastballs at a different set of heads: baseball writers who haven't voted him into the Hall of Fame. "I'll take on any writer, anywhere, on any show, and I will bury him," Gossage said in January after learning that Bruce Sutter, a star from the same era, got the Hall call. Gossage is still ticked. "These young writers have no clue," he told TIME. "They...
...talk of how his fellow Peace Prize winner, South African President F.W. de Klerk, has ''disappointed'' him during their long, tortuous negotiations toward a new, free, just South Africa, his sunny demeanor fades. Once started on this subject, he has trouble stopping. His voice rises; the smile becomes a scowl. Blacks have been killing other blacks in gruesome ways and growing numbers back in his country, and Mandela says he knows who is partly to blame: ''There is no doubt that the National Party is involved in violence; we have got very solid evidence.''

...cameras can mean only one thing: New Zealand is midway through an election campaign.

The P.M. may not always be loved, but she is respected - and there...
...long-blooming romance between Governor Bob Kerrey, 41, and Actress Debra Winger, 30. The couple met two years ago, when Winger was filming Terms of Endearment, and folks in Lincoln (pop. 180,000) have been spotting the lovebirds ever since. Lately everyone's been getting a smile, or a scowl, out of the fact that the Ohio-born actress was stopped for speeding in the Governor's state-leased car. The fuss prompted Kerrey to cancel her car privileges, and a collection was started to buy Winger a Swinger (a 1971 Dart, for $500). She used the cash instead...
...uncouth country bumpkin with decidedly dubious scholarly credentials," as Historian Richard Fox characterizes him, was the young Reinhold Niebuhr. Over the next four decades he was to become the nation's best-known theologian and political preacher, his Teutonic scowl etched on the face of 20th century American Protestantism...
