...games this season, a franchise record. They have solid management, savvy hitters and an awesomely polished quartet of young starting pitchers. Everybody knows the Braves are the best team. But after losing honorably in the past two World Series, they didn't want to be baseball's version of the N.F.L.'s Buffalo Bills, thrice defeated by stronger squads in the Super Bowl. The Braves have an eerier heritage: they are losing to teams deemed weaker. And they have the stats to prove it. The Braves outscored the Phils 33 to 23; their hitters had a much higher batting average...
...were songs that Eddie sang that sent shivers up my spine." Pearl Jam cemented its reputation as a heavyweight contender in August at the MTV Music Video Awards, where the band won four awards, including best video of the year for Jeremy, and joined Neil Young for a stirring version of his song Rockin' in the Free World...
...encourage them to do so with tax incentives. Cooper's proposal differs from Clinton's in another important way: it has significant bipartisan support. It is sponsored by 50 members of the House, including 22 Republicans; in the Senate eight moderate Republicans and Democrats are writing an almost identical version.

The longer legislators are forced to wait for Clinton's, the more they will be tempted...
...would be impossible to put in orbit as a fighting machine. Once the real warheads have been identified, they could be targeted for kill by laser weapons, intense beams of light that could destroy a Soviet missile or warhead by burning through its skin or, in a pulsating version, by hitting it with a sledgehammer-type blow. SDI scientists have been exploring the merits of deploying several types of laser weapons in space. Chemical lasers, generated by the reaction of gases such as hydrogen and fluorine, are now considered too unwieldy for space deployment. When they are ground based, their...
...Soprano Carol Vaness, Mezzo Janice Taylor, Tenor Siegfried Jerusalem, Bass Robert Lloyd; Christoph von Dohnanyi conducting the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus (Telarc). Every decade Karajan tackles the Beethoven symphonies, and these new recordings of the heroic Third and frisky Eighth complete his latest cycle. Like his previous version, issued in the mid-1970s, these interpretations are forceful and decisive, fast without being headlong, firm without being inflexible. The Berlin Philharmonic's playing is silky as ever. But in terms of sheer kinetic excitement, nothing will top the explosive, elemental performances from the 1960s. Dohnanyi's Ninth boasts a strong quartet...
