...Berra's head showed nothing." Rival players hung by one hand from the dugout roof when he came to bat, scratching their armpits with the other. "Hey, Yog," they yelled. "You still sleeping in trees?" One opposing catcher used to watch Yogi step into the batting cage, then bellow: "Quick, men! Shut the gate! You got him." TV even got into the act with a "Yogi Bear" cartoon series about an animal that walks like...
Novelist Saul Bellow's first play Upper Depths is a comedy about a celebrated TV comedian who has serious aspirations (no date set). Chester Morris and Signe Hasso are in something called The Tender Heel-about a modern Achilles, of course, set in a Florida fishing village (Oct. 21).

Among college administrators, who consider...
...almost unread, which is their unreaders' loss. This is not exclusively a list of young novelists; youth in novelists is not an asset but a liability which is occasionally overcome. Also, the list omits such excellent writers as J. D. Salinger, Truman Capote, William Styron and Saul Bellow, merely because their first books appeared longer ago than the last few years. The writers...
