Except for a few classy pictures like Raiders, Elephant Man and Raging Bull, the best makeup is usually done for horror films that most adults never see, or would admit to seeing.

Reagan approves a few appointments, mostly routine and obscure, and makes a few phone calls (last week to Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis on the air-controllers' strike, and to Philadelphia First Baseman Pete Rose on his breaking Stan Musial's National League record for total hits).

Few were as conscientious as Pete Rose of the Phillies, who took as many as 400 swings every day against an automatic pitching machine. Rose, 40, tied Stan Musial's National League record of 3,630 hits two days before the strike began, and doubts that lost playing time will wreck his chance of topping Ty Cobb's record of 4,191 hits.
