Dainty Switch. A calm man, Roberts recovers quickly from even the most awesome shellfire. This season, after winning his first three games, he was beaten in the next three, knocked out of the box twice. Another pitcher might have wondered whether that inevitable slide down had begun. Not Roberts. One night last week, with his cool and easy motion on the mound and his reckless behavior on the base paths, he beat the league-leading Milwaukee Braves almost singlehanded, 2-1. He struck out ten men, allowed only eight hits, tore home from second on an eighth-inning infield single...
...imposing its stable strength on Middle Eastern foment. There, riding at anchor in the soft swell of Okinawa's Buckner Bay, is Vice Admiral Stuart Ingersoll's Seventh Fleet, ready to turn its carrier-keyed task force toward the first break in Asia's ominous calm (a calm that might well not exist were it not for the Seventh Fleet's presence). There, in drydock for routine overhaul at Norfolk's huge (35 admirals on duty) Navy complex, is the 60,000-ton carrier Forrestal, most powerful ship afloat, preparing to join the fleet...

...absence of history and the absence of passion is visible on the unwrinkled, calm faces of Americans--the simple food, the lack of fresh meat, which is too expensive for every-day fare, the meals taken at odd moments and carelessly served, form the slim and often beautiful bodies, the naive faces, and the empty glances. Alcohol, strictly speaking, could remedy this situation. And it is true that after six o'clock in the evening, at parties and in bars, cocktails, whiskies, and gin-and-tonics--which, everyone knows, has a quinine base--plunge three quarters of the population into...
Even though he figured to be beaten, lean Jim Bailey, 26, spent a nervous night, and scarcely slept. Calm and confident, Landy, 26, took it easy, loafed through a set of practice miles early on the morning of the race. He got to Los Angeles' vast Coliseum ready to go. Bailey was bushed, and, it seemed, past caring. He stared moodily at the crowd, had a tough time working up to racing pitch...
