Raul ("Little Mouse") Macias was obviously among friends. Every Mexican who could make it was in Los Angeles' Wrigley Field last week screaming for Macias to murder that little Frenchman in the other corner. But French Bantamweight Alphonse Halimi couldn't understand a word-and couldn't care less. A grown-up guttersnipe from the back alleys of Algeria's Constantine, Alphonse learned long ago that the guy with the busted bottle, the quick pocketknife or the padded fists, is the only enemy...

Life Savers Corp., whose 14 candy flavors earned $2,750,000 last year, agreed to merge with Beech-Nut Packing Co., third biggest U.S. chewing-gum maker (after Wrigley, American Chicle).

The Rev. John Gerberding, 33, was acquitted, but later resigned...
Last week United Lutherans' Northwest Synod confirmed the action of their trial committee by upholding the heresy conviction of Pastors Crist and Wrigley. But in solid Protestant tradition, and despite the Fry letter, leaders of Victor Wrigley's congregation at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Brookfield, Wis. pledged themselves to stick with him, even if that meant possible legal action by the synod...
