...parents are away, she may take one of her charges home with her to spend the night. At the Lennep school near Montana's Crazy Mountains, Second-Grader Lee Cavender, 7, barges in to say that his sisters, twins who constitute the entire seventh grade, will be absent today. They turned 13 over the weekend, old enough for deer-hunting licenses, and, of course, their father has taken them shooting. With or without the twins, it is time for classes to begin.

But Pittsburgh's Bob Moose threw a wild pitch that utterly erased the figure in the batter's box from memory. With the bases loaded in the seventh game of the World Series, McRae managed only to tie the Oakland A's with a deep fly that missed being a home run by a distance too slight to become the measure of a 17-year career...
...major diversification move by agreeing to buy IBM's 81 computer retail outlets for an estimated price of from $125 million to $150 million. Nynex plans to merge the stores with the 19 branches of its Datago computer chain. The newly named Nynex Business Centers will be the seventh-largest computer retailer...
