Those dauntless darlings of diamond, the Boston Red Sox, will open their 1962 campaign against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park this afternoon. About 15,000 are expected to be in the stands when the umpire calls "Play ball" and the spine-tingling crack of horsehide against tempered ash signals the start of another season. Actually, the Bronx Barons, the New York Yankees, are probably going to win again, but it will be fun deluding ourselves for awhile...

Since the only barium that could have burned was in flares carried in the baggage compartment, the bureau at once ordered all DC-6s to remove their flares. Eighteen days later, another DC-6 had a baggage-compartment fire, near Gallup, N. Mex., but with...
...discreetly silent six-month cruise around the world, enigmatic ex-President Janio Quadros this week returns to Brazil, and to an Ash Wednesday welcome that well in advance was being built to heroic proportions. Some 6,000 workers from Rio de Janeiro were bound for the port of Santos to greet his ship. Bus caravans from all over Brazil are scheduled to take thousands more to cheer the prodigal's return...
