...where the Orioles were able to win three straight games but not four from the Milwaukee Brewers, retiring Manager Earl Weaver did more than just pop back out of the dugout afterward; he led Memorial Stadium in cheers. Curiously, Baltimore has adopted for a municipal symbol and mascot a cab-driving, beer-belching mountain man who can roughly spell out the letters O-r-i-o-l-e-s by flailing his limbs. When the score is forgotten, the memory will be of Weaver taking over for Wild Bill Hagy and acting out how everyone felt. As he closed...
Just nine days after the cab she was riding in was hit broadside by a van, Mary Martin, 68, with a plucky smile and the help of a walker, left San Francisco General Hospital. Though her longtime friend Actress Janet Gaynor remains in stable condition from the accident, Martin was adamant that the show go on-in this case, Over Easy, the PBS-TV program for older Americans that she co-hosts with Jim Hartz.

In Washington, where the cost of a license is less than $100, the vast majority of cabs are owned by blacks...
...told by a uniformed guard that the Royal Family was not receiving visitors. That night we visited the casino, lost a good deal of money and emerged, inebriated on over-priced booze, well after the last train had left for Nice. Finally, just after 4 a.m., we persuaded a cab driver to take us the 20 miles back to our hotel, for money upfront...
