Larry Bowa exhibits all the symptoms of a classic Type A personality including immaturity and inability to distinguish between matters that are of importance and those that are not. He should learn the refrain from "The Gambler" and hum it constantly, "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." Skip Nevell Los Angeles So one month into the Andruw Jones Dodgers era and he is hitting .159, with one home run and a whopping four runs batted in.

"In the cracks" is the operative phrase for microtonal music. This is music with notes and scales that fall between those of conventional Western music, which assigns 12 pitches to an octave. Tuning systems outside of that norm can strike many ears as weird, even heretical. Never mind that a variety of musical schemes have existed in other parts of the world since time immemorial.

Not too long ago, many prominent musicians would scoff at the idea of tuning an instrument to anything other than our modern equal-tempered scale--"various degrees of playing out of tune," they'd say.
