...Forever? Considering his $75,000-a-year salary, Spahn's left arm is the most costly appendage in baseball, but he treats it as if he had found it at a fire sale.

...President William F. Butler figures that G.N.P. will reach $582 billion in 1963 v. 1962's $554 billion, and others now feel that it may hit $585 billion.
