...pitchout which was intercepted by Columbia on the 18. Seven plays later, with only 11 seconds remaining in the game, coach Buff Donelli's Lions pushed the ball over to make the final score 26 to 14. Quickly, the 11,000 fans who had received an extra bonus--a riot at halftime over an attempted Columbia attack on the mammoth Harvard drum--settled back and accepted what they had expected going into the Stadium. A Columbia victory...
Today, with Trujillo gone, Balaguer is left to hold the restless country together -at least until the promised free elections next May. A strong man would find the task difficult. Cut off from much of its normal hemisphere trade and the normal bonus on U.S. sugar-quota sales, the economy is in near collapse. Politically, the tensions grow more dangerous each week as the long-throttled opposition rises to take advantage of the new "democratization" of Balaguer violently resisted by the dead dictator's henchmen.

But his busy agent, Frank Scott (other clients: Mantle, Warren Spahn, Willie Mays), estimates that movie and magazine rights to Roger's life story, royalties from a "Maris" candy bar and TV appearances (at $7,500 each) may boost his income by as much...
...pondered the pros and cons of a baseball career. Joyce sought counsel from businessmen, clergymen, lawyers, and such former bonus babies as Boston's Bill Monbouquette ($4,000) and Carl Yastrzemski ($100,000). Dick's father, a onetime minor league pitcher, was alarmed by carefully planted reports that the big leagues might soon outlaw bonus payments, and urged Dick to accept the Red Sox offer. Dick refused. "If I had accepted the $100,000," he explained last week, "I would have been able to keep only about $69,000 after taxes. Scholastic and business experts estimate that today...
