...River. Lured out of retirement like a veteran CIA agent asked to perform a final mission, John, 45, has miraculously emerged as the anchor of the Yankee pitching staff. My other two survivors are probably in the final months -- or even days -- of their curtain calls. Don Sutton, 43, his blond curls flecked with gray, languishes on the disabled list as the Dodgers wonder what to do with a pitcher who needs a retinue of relievers to get him beyond the sixth inning. And Graig Nettles, 43, once a majestic third baseman, hangs on a major league roster...

But how much harder it must be to walk out to the pitching mound or step into the batter's box knowing that you are expected to compete against striplings half your age. That is the bravery of Ryan, John, Sutton and Nettles as each game they pray that the mind can still command the muscles, that cunning can compensate for crumbling coordination.

It opened up police to liability if they fail to provide reasonable protection for a person who assists a criminal apprehension or prosecution. Schuster's police protection had been withdrawn despite his pleas to have it continued...
...joint project between the magazine and Time Inc.'s Books Group, the third largest book publisher in the country. "By using TIME's ability to report quickly and thoroughly and our ability to get the words into a book format, we drastically shortened the normal publication schedule," says Kelso Sutton, president and chief executive officer of the Books Group. Gorbachev, distributed by New American Library, will soon be followed by a second TIME book: a picture history of 1968, inspired by a cover story 2 1/2 months ago about the momentous events of a year that shaped an entire generation...
