...Laue is not the only glib man in the magazine. Thomas J. Babe, Jr. '63 inconclusively uses the mass media as whipping boy for the bomb shelter fad. But he has a word of comfort: "an all-out attack, precipitated perhaps by the certitude of survival, will destroy many printing presses...
...second play from scrimmage on Oct. 1, New York's Dick Christy fumbled. Babe Parilli could not move the Patriots, so Gino Cappelletti kicked a 34-yard field goal. After the ensuing kickoff, Bob Mathis of New York fumbled on the first scrimmage play. Again Boston settled for a Cappelletti field goal...
...Toole gave up two home runs as the Yankees won 2-0. And in the second, Cincinnati's Joey Jay pitched a neat four-hitter to square the series. That set the stage for Yankee Outfielder Roger Maris.

At a time when his every swing counted in his assault on Babe Ruth's home-run record (TIME, Sept. 29), Roger Maris bunted down the third-base line to squeeze the winning run across the plate in a crucial game. Whitey Ford (25-4), fighting hard for every game, put together his best season, and Screwballer Luis Arroyo...
