Ironically, today's baseball players are far more tame than those of old. The Babe thought nothing of bragging about his gluttony, nor did Mantle try to hide his drinking. But moments of true emotional celebration are no longer greeted with a smile. Spontaneous outbursts must be kept behind close doors; in public, good citizens behave with reserve. Consequently, it's deemed better to have the players brought onto a pre-built reception stage to recite truisms to the television cameras about the joys of victory...
...companies' own records. Only if employers' safety logs showed illness and injury rates to be above the national average in manufacturing did OSHA staffers consider wall-to-wall inspections. To lessen the chance of such unwelcome scrutiny, some employers apparently started doctoring their logs to underreport or hide serious accidents. But OSHA did not begin to crack down with heavy fines on major record-keeping violations until last year. Critics contend that only pressure from Congress and the approaching 1988 election galvanized the agency into action...
...with similar victories, Robertson's local organizers were able to attract Iowans who had not been politically involved. A year ago, a crude instruction sheet called the "Christian Political Action List" advised new activists to "hide your strengths" and "pretend to be interested" in general party business.

Like Robertson, she said, members of her charismatic congregation were "born-again...
Reagan has made little effort to hide his disdain for the Guatemala peace accord, most recently charging that it "falls short of the safeguards" contained in an earlier proposal put forward by Reagan and Wright. The White House has interpreted Arias' visit as a snub. "How would the Costa Ricans like it if our President were to accept an invitation from their legislature, pretty much bypassing their executive branch?" observed an Administration official. Costa Rican officials based in Washington deny that Arias is intentionally insulting Reagan. In fact, shortly after Wright extended his invitation, the Costa Ricans suggested a meeting...
What is there to be heard is a state-of-the-art dance record. Jackson's lyrics combine sometimes glancing felicity ("Your talk is cheap/ You're not a man/ You're throwin' stones/ To hide your hands") with scat-style facility. There is a great singer at work here, doing vocal stunts on tracks like Dirty Diana or Speed Demon that are as nimble and fanciful as any of his dance steps. Man in the Mirror, a ballad of confession and resolution, is more than just a vocal turn. It is a remarkable dramatic performance -- intense, direct and unadorned...
