Pinch-Hitter Eddie Robinson came in for Silvera and flied out. Mickey Mantle, hitless all day, slammed a screamer off Dropo's foot and raced all the way to second. It seemed a wasted effort. Joe Collins flied out, and Hank Bauer walloped a long fly to left. Minnie Minoso had a bead on the ball, got both hands on it-and suddenly it was bouncing behind him for another unbelievable error. Mantle was home, and the Yankees were still alive...

Chicago followed suit, succumbed to the hungry Cleveland Indians, whom they had walloped 8-1 the day before.

Concert Banjoist José Silva, whose educated banjo can romp through complicated pieces...
...famous visitors had replaced the villagers' early doubts with growing pride. Said Dominican Father Regamey, whose order sponsored Matisse's chapel at Vence: "Le Corbusier's modulated chapel in reinforced concrete is hard and soft at the same time, like the Gospels." Swiss Architect Hermann Bauer praised it as "more like sculpture than a work of architecture." A band of gypsies, adept at mind reading, decided they liked the new chapel "because of its pure form and white color." Even Abbé Besançon confessed a change of heart: "I take back everything I said against...
