There are all sorts of hot teams in the American League this year. The Detroit Tigers (5-1) wangled Pitcher Bill Monbouquette away from Boston in a trade. The Chicago White Sox (6-1) have a new manager, Leo Durocher's protege Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky, and a new centerfielder-Bonus Baby ($65,000) Tommy Agee, who is hitting .366 this spring-but they also have a line-up that averaged 80 strikeouts per man last year. The newly named California (formerly Los Angeles) Angels have a new $24 million stadium in Anaheim and new ambitions...
...celebrated ocular choreography is directed mostly toward Joey (craftily played by Movie Newcomer William Dix), an incorrigible ten-year-old who has been sent away for therapy after drowning his little sister in the bath. Though Joey claims he didn't do it, he is the kind of brat whose idea of fun is to practice tying hangman's knots. The lad returns home, alas, with one of his psychoses analyzed as "an inborn antipathy toward middle-aged females." Soon poor beleaguered Nanny has her hands full with the boy's bad manners and withering accusations...

LIKE A ROLLING STONE (Columbia). Dylan lights out after Temple Drake's daughters, spoiled man-eaters whom he can only taunt and threaten. He shouts out the chronicle of a girl's decline from boarding-school brat to streetwalker. The lyrics, written by Dylan, are powerful and literate and the song is twice as long as most pop hits. But it is climbing the charts and probably dusting off a lot of dictionaries...
...Paris to register daily with the police. During the occupation, the family moved into a Paris apartment above a brothel; when Jeanne ran down to the street, she would hurry past a long queue of waiting German soldiers. "I was happy enough," Jeanne says, "but I was a miserable brat. I wouldn't eat unless my mother danced for me and the poor woman had to dance and dance. The Moreaus were all ashamed that Anatole had married a dancer. Perhaps that's why I insisted upon it." Her best friend had died when she was twelve...
