...Arguing. But most paid off handsomely. To plug a hole at second base, Quinn hired Tony Taylor away from the Chicago Cubs; all he did was bat .281 last year and spark the Phillies to fourth place. Quinn pried Pitcher Jim Bunning away from the Detroit Tigers; by last week Bunning had already won five games. All three of the Phillies' starting outfielders came by way of trades. The farm system did the rest, producing Pitchers Art Mahaffey (3-2 this year) and Dennis Bennett (5-3), acrobatic Shortstop Bobby Wine, and the brightest new star of all, Third...
...without regard for periods," says Richard Brown, director of the Los Angeles County Museum. "And he lives with it just that way, hanging a Van Dyck alongside a Gorky in his office, a Memling alongside a Degas at home.

...more constant contact with the ordinary Englishman than the 75-year-old Dunlop Rubber Co. Dunlop makes the hot-water bottle he tucks into bed with him, the galoshes he depends on in England's soggy climate, the hose he waters his roses with, and the cricket bat he wields.

This week the company will report that profits jumped 14% last year to $77.5 million on sales of $792 million...
...slowly fills, Lake Nasser will obliterate the last traces of one of his tory's richest archaeological deposits. Bone-dry Nubia, the "land of gold," over which black men and white bat tled for 50 centuries, will be drowned. Though the Nubians themselves once ruled all Egypt (750-656 B.C.), they were frequently the victims of invaders. The Pharaoh Snefru 4,600 years ago reported "Nubia hacked to pieces: 7,000 men and women, 200,000 cattle and sheep led away." Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks and British followed, leaving hundreds of monuments, temples, fortresses, churches and works...
Columbia finally got going in the ninth after relief pitcher Jack Strauch had plunked Luther in the side with a fast ball. All-around hero Archie Roberts got his first hit of the day, a broken-bat wrongfield single to left. Farber, playing right field, singled him to second and Reggie Maton walked. Harvard catcher Gary Miller promptly picked Maton off first, but Tom Stephenson dropped the ball in the rundown. He recovered in time to tag Maton out, but Roberts scored...
