...look at baseball's Total Average stars in 1980. Boswell notes, illustrates the strengths of the statistic. Slash-hitter George Brett, speedster Rickey and Henderson, and sluggers Reggie Jackson and Mike Schmidt all topped the prodigious 1,000 mark: yet all are vastly different offensive animals from one another. Overrated stars like Omar "The Out Maker" Moreno (.682) and Steve "No Walks" Garvey are uncovered under the precise camera of Totals Average. Boswell gleefully gloats...

One such country is Nigeria, which is burdened with a population of 80 million and a superambitious agricultural development program. In a desperate move to boost sales, the government last week threatened to slash a full $5 per bbl. off its officially quoted $36.50 price, in order to compete with non-OPEC oil from the North...
