...most respected one never to win a pennant. Ahead of the Royals by one game in the West division, the Angels faced downy-cheeked Righthander Bret Saberhagen first, and at the end he dismissed Jackson with three called strikes. "I looked at Reggie and thought of the Dodgers' Bob Welch striking him out in the World Series. It's a good feeling to strike out Reggie Jackson." By doing so, Saberhagen, 21, became the fifth most precocious 20-game winner in major-league history, displacing by a couple of months a young pitcher named Babe Ruth. "Gosh," said Saberhagen.

Like last Christmas' Starman, it contains a love story ^ between an extraterrestrial (Tahnee Welch, Raquel's lithe and stunning daughter) and a young American (Steve Guttenberg); here sex is represented as a love-light that ricochets around the swimming pool. Like E.T. and a dozen other fantasy films, it boasts gorgeous, if insubstantial special effects from George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic studio. And there...
...military contracts and could decide to reinstate the ban as a result of the company's guilty plea. To persuade the Pentagon not to take such an action, GE has said it would make managerial changes to guard against its overcharging the Government in the future.
