Normally it's a real challenge to pick up a Sox ticket these days, but the Tribe is so amateurish they've been invited to send a delegation to the Olympics, so don't sweat it. Rumor has it that Bowie Kuhn actually forgot Cleveland is still in the major leagues, and the team certainly hasn't done much to correct that impression. Look for a scalping...

After a night in the motel, Nixon rode to the dedication, where he sat drenched in sweat in a non-air-conditioned auditorium packed with 4,500 people in 95° heat. A stream of east Kentucky dignitaries took their bows. Then Nixon, who looked wilted and dazed in those ceremonies, rallied for a 40-minute speech notable for its force and its predictability (the U.S. needs...
