...planets that orbit them condense out of spiraling discs that are formed out of clouds of interstellar material. Thompson and Erickson believe MWC 349 is going through just such a process now. They think the star, which may be little more than 10,000 years old (the sun has been around about 5 billion years), is still developing. Some planets may have formed beyond the edge of MWC 349's luminous disc. They also believe more planets could form, closer to the star, as the disc condenses and cools...
Arizona State, perennial participants in the CWS, had raced to the No. 1 ranking while amassing runs at a nine-plus per game clip. This was the best Sun Devil club since the National Champs of 1965, which boasted Rick Monday, Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson in its lineup.

...South Carolina refused to fold in the final rematch. When Lewis ended the Allen jinx by striking him out in the first, and when Mookie Wilson, winner of the CWS Micky Rivers look-alike contest, sprinted and crashed into the centerfield wall to rob another Sun Devil of extra bases in the second, it was clear that Omaha had itself a ball game. A pair of unlikely heroes eventually decided things...
