...half a dozen of the 1967 Cardinals were yet born when the famous old Redbird team was terrorizing the National League in the mid-1950s - but the family resemblance is unmistakable. There is Lou Brock dashing madly for second and sliding in safely with his 36th sto len base of the season.

Roger Maris crossing up the pulled-back enemy infield with a perfectly placed drag bunt. Orlando Cepeda explaining his .339 batting average and 19 home...

There, for the past two months, he has led his all-star cast -David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Trevor Howard, Lawrence Harvey and John Gielgud-through mishap and mayhem. With one of the largest budgets...
Industrias Kaiser Argentina as the nation's biggest automaker. Ford will have a broader base from which to operate in Latin America. Brazilians may not realize immediately that they have a Ford in their future.
