...second game of the best-of-seven series is scheduled tonight at Dodger Stadium, starting at 10:05 EDT. The Mets will send David Cone, 20-3, against rookie Tim Belcher...
...rest of the made-for-TV pageantry beamed, so it was said, to three in every five of the people in this world. But all of this was a world away from the simple reality of sitting in a $5 seat on a rainy day, in a half-deserted stadium, wrestling with a box of Curry Noodles (the box won in the opening round).

In front of him, two sporting- goods salesmen from Ensenada, Mexico, were crying out Spanish exhortations to Tino Martinez...

...Stands notes with pleasure that Pia Zadora is singing I Am What I Am at the Hotel Lotte, and that the Korean Film Week begins with such local classics as Surrogate Woman and Potatoes. But his biggest moment comes just sitting in the stands of Songnam stadium, far from the cameras and the crowds, in the balmy autumn sunshine. Most of the spectators in this rural place are locals, men with newspapers on their heads, women under parasols, large cheering sections of large women in largely billowing blue-and-yellow hambok who are singing mournful folk songs and donning...
