Sleepy listeners to WITT, a soft-spoken popular-music FM radio station in Tuscola, Ill., may have wondered whether some lunatic had just been named station manager.

Edward Randolph Welles II, 67, the retired Bishop of West Missouri; and the Rt. Rev. Daniel Corrigan, 73, the retired bishop who had headed domestic missions, all apparently ignored a canon that forbids retired bishops to perform "episcopal acts" unless...
...after a first-inning run, Miami boosted the margin to 2-0 in the fourth with Vaughn Flick's home run. In the fifth Hurricane All-American Orlando Gonzales's single sent third baseman Jim Costa home, after Costa had singled and stolen second. In the sixth Holt walked Witt Beckman, gave up a bunt single to Marty Flick to set the stage for a run-scoring single by Wayne Krenchicki...
