Duty Calls. The only reasonable explanation for it all is a fellow by the name of Calvin Coolidge Ermer, 43, who took over as manager when Sam Mele was fired on June 9. Ermer's total previous big-league experience consisted of one day in the uniform of the Washington Senators, during which he went 0 for 3 at the plate. But he had served a 20-year managerial apprenticeship in the minors. The first thing he did was break up the locker-room poker game. Each night on the road, to make sure his Twins got their beauty...

His Calvin Coolidge High is an actual Manhattan school building, its rust and raunch unretouched for the camera, and his neighborhood is a horrifyingly typical New York slum street. His supporting cast, notably Sorrell Booke as the exasperated principal and Florence Stanley as a guidance counselor in love with instant evaluation, is ideal. So is Fred Karlin's musical score, in its ironic blending of baroque blandness and jungle throb...
