This is the year that fans scanning box scores and studying statistics are suddenly realizing that grand old names are nearly all gone, have gradually been replaced by a whole set of new faces. This is the year Ted Williams (.239) is 40, and seems ready to quit. This is the year Stan Musial (.260) is 38, and riding the bench. A new generation of stars is coming of age. Significantly...

After five players had failed to fill the hole left at second by Red Schoendienst, out with tuberculosis, Manager Fred Haney is finally getting some help from Bobby Avila, 33, the old Cleveland Indian, who knows what to do with the ball, even though he cannot go far to get it.

...cigars in their cellophane wrappers, but who is meant by the honorable gentleman who has love affairs all over Washington? The Indian Ambassador, Khrishna Khaleel, is obviously a scathing caricature of India's Khrishna Menon, but who are the models for 1) the liberal Supreme Court judge who cannot stay out of politics; 2) the tireless adviser to everybody; 3) the meddlesome cardinal...
