...mass mortalities of fish." The Government maintains that the leases cover no spawning grounds on Georges Bank, and that the prevailing currents could easily sweep an oil slick to sea. Secretary of the Interior Cecil Andrus notes that of 292 million bbl. of oil produced last year from off-shore U.S. wells, only two spills exceeded 50 bbl., the largest losing only 135 bbl. Besides, the oil revenues that could be realized even from a small reserve at Georges Bank are hard to turn down. Two decades of fishing might be worth $3.3 billion. Two decades of oil should earn...
...fool. The management that traded him to Montreal, that benched him during the gasping stretch of the 1978 season in favor of Pawtucket sweetmeat, was. With more than 50 years worth of cameras and newsclips and Causeway St. anecdotes, there's Tris Speaker, Babe Ruth, Sparky Lyle, Ernie Shore, Dutch Leonard, Duffy Lewis, Cecil Cooper, the heroes whose promise was traded for cash or mediocrity. Back, further into the piles of faded photographs and daguerreotypes of old-looking men in baggy, dusty uniforms, there's Lou Boudreau, Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda, Ellston Howard, the heroes that Red Sox management fielded...

...Crimson (1-2 in the Ivy and 1-4 overall) enters today's contest in the best physical shape since the opener, with junior offensive tackle Mike Durgin--out the past three games--returning to shore up the line. The Notebook: Senior split end Rich Horner has opened a huge lead as the Ivy League's premier receiver. His 18 catches and 281 yds, top the number two man. Brown's Mark Farnham, by six snares and 126 yds.... Harvard punter Duke Millard is tied with Dartmouth's Larry Margerum for the Ivy lead in yards per kicks with...
...matter of chance which one your brain happens to pick out at any moment. As sheaves of pages pass by, Barth concentrates these associations in several arbitrary subjects: the War of 1812, which somehow prefigures a Second American Revolution; the decline of the profession of letters; the Maryland shore, scene of most of the action; the waning of the Indian tribes; others too numerous to mention. Except for the fleeting pleasure of realizing Barth is up to something, these associations offer the attentive reader nothing but work, and the lazy, nothing...
