...games behind the pennant-winning Dodgers. Tebbetts was not satis- fied, traded in search of pennant-class pitching. But the Redlegs skidded to last place this season. Birdie, who once said, "A manager should never quit," decided last week to resign, became the fourth major-league manager to bow out this year (the others: Detroit's Jack Tighe, Cleveland's Bobby Bragan, Philadelphia's Mayo Smith). Best bet to succeed him: fiery, onetime Big-League Infielder (Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, Giants, Cardinals) and Manager (Cardinals) Eddie Stanky. ¶ Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn, winner...
...going after his sixth consecutive two-year term as Michigan's Governor, bow-tied Soap Heir G. Mennen Williams, the aging (47) political prodigy, ran into his first primary contest in a decade.

But when he began to play, the vast, hollow church filled with luminous, lucid sound, suffused with a passion that is the wonder of musicians the world over. Each night the audience paid Casals the only tribute permitted in the church, rising to their feet...
Also high on the agenda is THE RECONCILING OF CONFLICTS BETWEEN AND WITHIN NATIONS. Said one bishop: "the H-bomb will come under discussion, but I doubt if we shall come out 100% against it. After all, death from an H-bomb is no different from death by a bow and arrow. The bomb itself is neither good nor evil. It's something like the Industrial Revolution. And as for its alleged genetic aftereffects, think of the havoc wreaked on future generations through malnutrition and so on after Gustavus Adolphus had stormed across Europe...
