There never seems to have been a doubt that Montana would become some sort of ballplayer. His father was chiefly responsible for his dedication to games and, it could be argued, was the dedicated one. Joe Sr. is a trim and youthful, silver-haired and hatchet-faced man, just 49, born on the same day but a year after Walsh. He is the custodian of his only child's memorabilia and his own memories. The "fundamentals" he preached to the boy were learned in the Navy, where Joe Sr. played all the games. He had filled out slowly...

The new "continuing resolution" allows the Government to operate while the final appropriations bills are being...
After persuading Congress to slash authorized federal spending for fiscal 1982 by $35 billion last July, Reagan in late September asked for more cuts. He urged Congress to trim an additional $13 billion when it actually got around to appropriating the money. But he never really made clear just which activities he wanted to slash. Congress, lacking guidance, passed a stopgap continuing resolution funding the Government from the start of the fiscal year on Oct. 1 until Nov. 20, an arbitrarily chosen date, while wrangling inconclusively over the regular appropriations bills...
