Strike Looms As MLB Opens Amid Talks Collapse
NEW YORK UPI. Baseball players and owners met in a last ditch plea from Commissioner Peter Ueberroth as the strike began. Don Fehr said prospects of play tonight were virtually zero and the situation looked grim. Talks remained deadlocked on pensions and salary arbitration with no breakthrough in sight. If the strike cancels the rest of the season, the leading teams would be declared champions, including the Toronto Blue Jays atop the AL East.

Tutu dares to jail him defies mass funeral stand
In Daveyton Bishop Desmond Tutu defiantly faced hundreds of armed security forces as he vowed to go to jail if needed to preach his gospel and demand land for his people amid a government ban on mass funerals.

In Pietermaritzburg, 200 miles away, 16 black dissidents go on trial for high treason over alleged 1980s conspiracies to overthrow the government.
