...Pony League, the Babe Ruth League, the American Legion League, they were poised and polished pitchers by the time they broke into the majors. Baltimore's Jim Hardin, 25, has already won 17 games in his first full big-league season, and even the lowly New York Mets boast a couple of budding superstars in 25-year-old Jerry Koosman (17-10) and 23-year-old Tom Seaver (14-9). "Pitchers never used to mature until they were 27 or 28," says Manager Walter Alston of the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Sandy Koufax was 27 when he first won 20 games...
...none of our people acted wrongfully, and we will defend our position vigorously," said a spokesman. For its own sake, the firm can afford to do no less. Merrill Lynch owes both its eminence and fortune to its success in wooing the small investor. To back the well-justified boast that it brought Wall Street to Main Street, the company points to its 1,400,000 individual customers, nearly one-third more than any other stockbroker has.

"That would require a lot more exposure of himself," says Actress Polly Bergen. "And he's not sure that he likes what's inside him, which is a shame." Not to Mitchum. Rich, languid, self-hating, self...
...Wallace threat could redound, however, to Reagan's benefit among Southern Republicans. Southern delegates for Rocky are as rare as square marbles, but a fair number might go for Reagan on the theory that his conservatism might be an effective alternative to Wallace. When Rockefeller's aides boast about shaking some 40 delegates loose from Nixon in recent days, they concede that most of these went either to Reagan or to the uncommitted column. This could be of help in stopping Nixon, but could become dangerous to Rockefeller if the convention really opened...
