This year, sad to say, will be no exception. Baltimore may just be the strongest team in baseball, even without Prank Robinson, who has travelled out to L.A. to help the Dodgers in their pennant quest. Barring wholescale injuries or a total collapse, Earl Weaver's team won't have a great deal of trouble remaining on their traditional perch on top to the division. Their pitching, by a conservative appraisal, is almost strong enough to sustain the pennant drive alone, with no help form the offense...
...much influenced by reading the memoirs of an Oglala chief (Black Elk Speaks), landscape ought not to be separated from the way American Indians perceived nature: as an assembly not of dead earth and dumb plants, but of sentient presences.

Unfortunately, Wofford overworks his paintings. The light stiffens into crusts of inert pigment. But if the picture surface is sometimes cluttered, the effort to complicate...

In equaling a record set more than half a century ago,* the Orioles big four started all but 16 of Baltimore's 158 games. Palmer, McNally and Cuellar, in fact, each won 20 or more games last season. Acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres this winter, Dobson...
