High living by confederates also tipped police to the family-operated lipstick factory of Nikolai Kotlyar, who converted the basement of a house in the Moscow district of Ostankino into a miniature plant.

For the first time, Babe Ruth's durable record of 60 home runs, set in 1927, is threatened by two men: Yankee Sluggers Mickey Mantle (45 home runs to date) and Roger Maris, who brought his total to 48 last week...
