...betting slips in his handwriting -- did not seem to shame him. Little ever has. Not a 1979 paternity suit that he did not contest, the messy unraveling of his marriage in 1978 (which did not interfere with his 44-game hitting streak), or striking an umpire in the chest, for which he received a 30-day suspension in 1988. Criticism in the press about the friends in thick gold chains and diamond pinky rings who placed wagers for a living did not faze him. Even now, Rose gives little outward sign that what happened has engendered self-doubt. The night...
Should states be permitted to electrocute a condemned prisoner with a flag tattooed on his chest? Should burning the flag be a more serious crime than burning a church? More serious than burning a cross...
With the backing of the Establishment and a $150,000 war chest that is ten times the size of the opposition's, Strauss's forces seem likely to win. If not, she warns, Dallas could be in for a period of uncertainty that it cannot afford. The city is confronted with a shrinking tax base and a looming budget shortfall.

Manny is a robot, though with a body temperature of 98.6 0 F and a chest that heaves with each "breath," he is astonishingly lifelike.

Manny's mission, at the Army's Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, will be to test protective clothing -- for example, to determine whether walking, bending or sweating might cause the clothing...
...only a problem if you make it one." He looks as menacing as he did that night in 1973 when he blockbusted Joe Frazier clear off the canvas to win the title. His 19-in. biceps bulge with muscle, his thighs are thick as saplings, his huge 48-in. chest heaves with power. He also has the beginnings of a paunch. Explains Foreman: "The secret to my winning is my eating." By which he means that he has been reborn at the dinner table too. The Big Macs have been replaced by broiled mackerel. For breakfast, the slugger still puts...
