...hand it to the Braves, too. Warren Spahn may not win twenty this season, but the great lefthander can still, on a given day, be one of the best around. The Braves have also had fine performances from Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and even aging Joe Adcock; but the pitching staff is no longer one of the best in the league, and the infield isn't as impressive as it once...
...Equal. For an after-dinner treat, there was a performance of Aaron Copland's ballet Billy the Kid. The guests went home still chuckling over Kennedy's graceful tribute to Houphouet-Boigny which was coupled with a comment about his own political situation.

The Chronicle started an April Aaron Fund; the News-Call Bulletin offered $500 for her attacker's arrest. The Examiner, scrabbling frantically for new crime-wave evidence, picked up a police-blotter report about a purse-snatching sailor and triumphantly blew it onto Page...
