...strain in at least one area-his precarious financial position. He put on the selling block his posh Northside Atlanta home, purchased in 1975 for $400,000 and fondly dubbed "Butterfly Manna" by LaBelle. Asking price: a neat $2 million. LaBelle said the intended sale "is just a sign we plan to be in Washington for a long, long time." In the capital, a great many signs were pointing in the other direction...
THIS IS THE MOMENT ALL JAPAN HAS BEEN WAITING FOR blazed the sign above Tokyo's Korakuen Stadium last week. In the third inning of a game between the Yomiuri Giants and the Yakult Swallows, First Baseman Sadaharu Oh, 37, blasted a low, inside pitch into the rightfield stands 377 ft. away. It was his 756th career home run-one more than the American major league record set in 1976 by Hank Aaron. Declared Oh, who was promptly named first holder of a National Hero Honors Order by the government: "I have finally put down an unbearable burden." Aaron...

Especially striking was one family with four sisters, three of whom continued to live together in their childhood home and developed MS symptoms in 1974; the fourth sister, who had left home in 1971, remains free of any sign of the disease. The three homebodies had had close contact with the family dog, which suffered a severe brain disease in 1973. In ten other families, the mother and a child had the disease; in two, the father and a child; in 16, siblings were affected. Another coincidence involved a woman and her nephew, who lived together and both developed...
...stabbed Maitland? Apparently someone who knew him, because there was no sign of forced entry. To know Maitland was to loathe him; he was a foul-mouthed brawler, a womanizer, a raging egomaniac. But he was also a genius of the first order, the finest painter of female nudes since Matisse and Bonnard. In recent years his paintings have sold for up to $100,000, and presumably prices will rise after his death. Who covets the paintings, or the money...
