...month after her nationals victory, early in 1986, Thomas flew off to Geneva for a summit with the Brooke Shields of Sarajevo, the G.D.R's great Witt (pronounced Vitt). And, for the first time since the Olympics, Witt had to settle for second. Still only 18, Debi was world champion, and the single word she had used to sum herself up on Stanford's application forms suddenly seemed an understatement: "Invincible." Within a year, that would change. Tasting some of Chin's medicine, on two throbbing Achilles tendons, Thomas lost the '87 nationals to Jill Trenary. Then...
...about $5 a foot, are the most popular. Seattle Dealer Dawayne Goodburn considers them "good family pets, very clean and companionable and easy to feed." He recently sold a 5-ft.

Apparently aimed at Schoolboy Rowe, it scored a direct hit on Birdie Tebbetts, alternate catcher, who was chatting with Rowe. Tebbetts was knocked unconscious...
Ever since their June rebellion, the Indians had practically ignored crusty old Manager Vitt. Behind closed doors, they made their own decisions, reputedly voted to have Vitt excluded, if they won the pennant, from a share of the World Series swag. While they took out their haughties on Vitt, the fans took it out on them. Everywhere they went, they were heckled. The "foreign press" (any writer outside Cleveland) dubbed them "Cry Babies."
