...champions, to a humiliating demonstration of speed and muscle. Tiger Ace Mickey Lolich, whose won-lost record was 14-2 before the game, lost the opener, 5-2. In the process, he gave up his first home run of the year, a line shot by Minnesota Second Baseman Rod Carew. In the second game, the Twins chased the Tigers' other star, Denny McLain (15-5), off the mound in the fifth inning; two home runs, including Third Baseman Harmon Killebrew's 30th of the season, blasted the way to an 11-5 victory.

...Envy. Unlike most disillusioned repatriates from behind the Iron Curtain, Author Carew understands that Negroes are tough for the Russians to accept. "Strangers are new to all of us-black strangers and white ones," Jojo's Russian roommate admits painfully. "We have never had them living in our midst since the Revolution, and now, all of a sudden, we have young people from the four corners of the earth among us. You must try to understand our confusion.
