Abortion is hardly the only divisive issue. Under Vatican pressure, California's Father Terrance Sweeney has been forced to resign from the Jesuits because he insisted on issuing the results of a survey he had made of U.S. bishops (24% of respondents favored optional celibacy for priests, 28% approved of women deacons). During the past few years there have been rancorous disputes between Rome and America over textbooks used in parishes on doctrine and on sex and several private struggles over appointments of theology teachers...

...called Chicken Soup Plus in Sacramento, charges only $30 for a pre-employment physical, far less than the $50-to-$75 fees that the city's doctors command.

...record 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. Clemens, who eight months ago had arthroscopic shoulder surgery, did it with a 97-m.p.h. fast ball and no walks. The old mark of 19 was jointly held by Nolan Ryan (1974), Tom Seaver (1970), Steve Carlton (1969) and Charlie Sweeney (1884). "Personally, it hasn't quite hit me yet," says Clemens, 23, who is apparently slower than the public in that respect. Next morning, Red Sox fans were in line bright and early to buy tickets for the next appearance of the new King...
