...season--despite its feeling of one day-at-a-time caution--has the kindest offerings of any in recent history. This is the first season which hasn't taken its toll on Lynn, Hobson, and Burleson--or burned out its pitching staff-before the stretch rolls around. In fact, the team--with the important exception of Fisk--is in its best health ever. The pitching staff has not performed beyond anyone's expectations, but neither have they backed down.

Somoza's forces fought back with savage efficiency. His strategy was to let the Sandinistas take temporary control of the cities, "using up their ammunition first," then to deliver a devastating counterpunch of firepower. Such tactics made a huge toll of innocent noncombatants inevitable. In the bloodiest fighting of a civil war that has simmered along for 18 months, many thousands died, most of them civilians. Carrying white flags, at least 200,000 refugees poured out of the barrios in Managua, León, Masaya and Matagaipa to escape the indiscriminate raids by government T-33 jets, rocket-equipped...
