I'D like to make parting plea to man

highly confused plays as that. No one
has telescope eyes. Ask those bleacher
fans what happened, and you'll get a
$3.50 split vote as to where the ball
actually went. It's the same problem with
the five other most difficult decisions an
umpire must make (See page 46).

Mr.. Stahl made the point
that important criteria TO q

But In mid-career, an In
creasing important criterion TO

work. The Government Job
